description: "This varied circular hike offers a combination of alpine panoramas, quiet ridge paths, and peaceful forest sections. It starts in the village of Flühli and first leads over meadows and forest roads uphill towards Salzbüel. This first section is a steady but pleasant ascent and soon offers an open view of the Flühli valley and the surrounding landscape. From Salzbüel the path continues uphill to Leitere where you reach the contour line. From here begins the most beautiful part of the route: the hike along the ridge path towards Schwändelifluh. The path mostly follows a narrow trail in open terrain, with impressive views of the Schrattenfluh, Brienzer Rothorn, and deep down into the valley of the Waldemme. Especially in clear conditions, this section is a real highlight. After Schwändelifluh begins the descent towards Vorderrüüchi, over alpine meadows and stony paths, later through light forest. At Vorderrüüchi the view opens back again to the cliff and the already covered ridge section. From there the path continues downhill into the quiet Chessiloch, a wooded gorge with streams, rocks, and mossy ground – a completely different, almost mystical part of the landscape. The last section goes on comfortable paths back to Flühli, where the circular hike ends."
