From Kriens to Graustein and Krienseregg
The hike starts at the Kriens valley station and follows Gehristrasse through a residential quarter. After about 500 meters, a path branches off to the right, ascending to the forest. At the turning place, keep half-left uphill without crossing the stream. Following the forest edge, you reach about 708 meters three hairpin bends leading into the mixed forest and on towards Streubachstrasse to Graustein.
Two paths lead from Graustein to Krienseregg:
One variant climbs steeply over meadows and open land. Along a small watercourse, you reach a signpost and a fountain with fresh spring water at 844 meters. Afterwards, you ascend over the meadow slope and through a short section of forest to Krienseregg (1,026 m). The second route runs over Langwase to Gruohubel and then through a short patch of forest also to Krienseregg. Once arrived, the "Drachenmoor" offers great circular paths lasting approximately 15 minutes up to an hour.
