  • From now on the gravel road begins to climb
  • Before we leave it, we follow a section of flat forest path to later rejoin the gravel road
  • We walk along the gravel road until we branch off into a forest path again and walk along the meadow path towards Bärnhof
  • The wayside shrine at the first farm (Bärnhof) on the asphalt road invites you to linger and pause for a moment
  • You can also enjoy a wonderful view of Waisenegg and Strallegg from here
