Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Where the path splits and the forest educational trail leads down to the right, it is worth following the hiking trail straight ahead for a few more meters. Shortly afterward, a beautiful panorama opens up with a view of Mount Pilatus and the surrounding hills.
