Escape the nearby hustle and bustle along forest paths on the Ursifluh.
In the area of the walking park, often on narrow paths, wander through secluded sections of forest. Sunny conditions are to be found even though long stretches are in the forest (up on the rocky ridge, much deciduous forest). Beautiful viewpoints at the top of the Ursifluh rocky ridge.
