Along the lakeshore towards Iseltwald to the forestry house and then up a hill to the fallow deer enclosure. On the panoramic trail back towards Bönigen to the junction and ascent to Oberallmi. From Oberallmi towards Ankeweidli via a short trail running section to the Bömbergen. From here, it continues through the forest downhill to Acherhubel.
