The bus runs from Lenk station up to Bühlberg. From there, the high-altitude hike leads along the west flank of the Lavey ridge, past the reforestation area between Lavey and Obere Seewele, towards Schatthore. In the morning, it is still shady on the west flank of the Lavey ridge. The higher the sun rises, the more its warmth can be felt on your back. If the Obere Seewele alp is operated, a tasty piece of alpine cheese can be bought. Over a ridge you reach the summit of Schatthore, which actually resembles more a long mountain ridge than a 'Hore'. Nevertheless, the view over the Lenk and its side valleys is wonderful. Paragliders can often be seen here, circling high above the heads of the hikers. For the descent, a portion of the path already covered must be retraced to the fork in the path. In a forest clearing lies, like on a arbor, hence the name Laubbärgli, a mountain hut. The charming little wooden house with its red-white checkered tablecloths invites you for a snack. The return to the Lenk is by a small bus directly from Laubbärgli.
