Beautiful, panoramic hiking trail in Elfringhauser Switzerland.
After a few meters through the Kidneyhof district, a forest path runs parallel to the Felderbach. After almost 3 km it goes left, approx.
200 m along a road with little traffic until you turn right again into a forest path. Here it goes slightly uphill past the Eberg. Here you have a good view of the Felderbach valley. We continue to the Zipperberg on a little-used road. After approx. 5.3 km you turn right again into the forest. Here it goes down to the street Im Eggendahl. Now it's about 1 km up this little-used road before turning right onto the dirt road. Now it goes on this way back to Kidneyhof (beautiful distant view of the Wodan valley).
