The path begins in Greppen, where the big Chestenechilbi takes place every autumn. Already on the way to Weggis, the first chestnut trees can be seen along the roadside.

The good thing about it: the harvest is open to everyone. It’s also worthwhile to look around here. Because 335 plant species have been recorded in this area, of which 22 belong to the orchid family. Accordingly, the diversity of butterflies is also very large…
