Description

The route is ideal for children and their parents. From the Postrondell you take the Bielmatt and Lomatten streets to the Wildi district. Here you leave the village and ride through the larch forest via Bärufalla to Mälchbodu, the highest point of the route. Here a large playground, fire pits and a small lake await a break.

At the junction just above Mälchbodu, turn left and continue downhill. There follows a small descent. Caution, one hairpin turn is steep! This path leads to the next highlight, the Stafelwald with its tame marmots.

Follow the path to the junction at the large stone and turn right. After the second stream crossing, go uphill to the junction at the forest edge. Here turn left and follow the forest road to the Feeblitz sledding run. Past the AlpinExpress station, over the panoramic bridge and up the last slope you reach the Postrondell again.
