We hike far away from the tourist streams. We watch the steam railway, encounter cattle and goats, and have the opportunity to roast a sausage and play.

We hike from Realp station through the village towards the steam railway. We pass the golf course on the left and the Furka steam railway station on the right. Before we reach the tracks, we ascend to the right towards Fuchsegg. We climb about 350 meters above the Schärflä and reach the highest point. Now we go into the Furkareuss valley to Chalt Herbrig. Here we cross the tracks and the Furkareuss and hike out of the valley to Alt Senntenstafel. At Alp Laub we stand on the crossing to the Wittenwasserental. Here we go downhill and out of the Wittenwasserental. Shortly before the steam railway terminus, we turn right over a big bridge and cross the Reuss. Now it is not far to the sports ground and the family campfire site. From here we reach Realp station in 5 minutes.
