First, it goes over a classic hiking path via Lenkerseeli towards Iffigfall. The path leads through shady forest and partly along the water. The Iffigfall can be viewed from a distance, or you can choose a small detour to stand in the spray below the impressive waterfall. From here, the view turns, as the path climbs quite steeply upwards and then leads along the height below the Oberlaubhore back to the "Lengi Egge." This place name is significant as to why it is called "an der Lenk." It was probably derived from "an der langen Ecke" (at the long corner). This is a brief excursion into history – but we are trail running... Along the wide natural path, which is also an access road for the surrounding alp regions, it goes without technical difficulties on the other side of the "Lengi Egge" towards the valley floor. Upon reaching the Simme, it becomes flat. Now the natural path leads downstream back to the village where your legs can be stretched out.
