The trail ends in Baldegg, where the monastery café invites you to refresh yourself. Along the Baldeggersee, you reach Gelfingen, where you turn off to Schloss Heidegg. After a steep climb, you are rewarded with a wonderful view. A visit to the rose garden or the castle (open from April to October, Tuesday to Sunday, details at heidegg.ch) is highly recommended.
