Description
The tour begins at the Gypsera bus stop in Schwarzsee village. Right from the start, the route affords stunning views over the glistening waters and the hilly Sense region.

The scenery progressively changes, as the path sometimes leads over rises and then past peaceful, shady forest sections.

It stands majestically atop a 20-metre high rock and is a popular photo subject.
