The landscape and the proximity to the water on this easy hike delight the adults. The little ones will be proud of their first lake circuit – the round trip of the Blauseeli. The water playground captivates the children. Some sections on hard surface.

At the starting point of the hike at the final stop Grimmialp Hotel Spillgerten, follow the signpost indication to Blauseeli. After a short stretch downhill, the idyllic small lake is reached. It enchants with its clear water, reflecting the landscape and mountains. The smallest hikers will be proud to easily walk around a lake on foot here. Then continue downhill along the Senggibach towards Schwenden. Shortly before Schwenden, the Fildrich flows in, now giving its name to the stream. From Schwenden, the destination of this route, Zwischenflüh, appears on the signposts. At Seeboden, the water playground is reached, where children find various play opportunities with water. Lovers of the Bernese German dialect recall expressions like "mit einem ‹Gutsch Wasser chosle oder chööze›." Those who linger here too long can start their return journey from the nearby bus stop Tiermatten Wirtschaft. It is recommended to have dry clothes to change into. However, continuing the hike is worthwhile, as a wild romantic section follows. At the cattle exhibition site Anger, the next attraction awaits, a covered fireplace. After a few meters on the cantonal road, the route leads again along the Fildrich. At the water bridge, the Fildrich must be crossed and the cantonal road followed uphill. Soon the destination is reached at the bus stop Zwischenflüh, Post.
