This hike leads up the Iseler, Oberjoch's local mountain, which is known for its botanical diversity and wide panoramic views over the Ostrachtal valley. The route starts at the Iselerbahn car park. The first steep ascent can optionally be shortened with the chairlift. However, the hiking trail winds its way in serpentines below the cable car and through sparse mountain forests up to the mountain station and on to the summit. With a little patience, chamois on the rocky summits, while the rare Alpine gentian and Alpine edelweiss bloom on the alpine meadows in early summer can be spotted. As the path to the summit is rocky and steep in places, surefootedness is required.
