HIKE DETAILS:

Start: Linthal Braunwaldbahn. Take the train up to Braunwalld and from there ride the chairlift Grotzenbüel. (If you want you can skip this chairlift to save money but it will make your hike a bit longer, I would say an extra 45 mins )

From Grotzenbüel you follow the sign towards Oberblegisee. The hike is 9 km long with 220 meters of elevation gain ( if you skip the chairlift it will be a bit more) The hike can take 2,5 - 3 hours. To end the hike you have two option, hike back the same way to Braunwald or hike half an hour to the Luchsingen - Brunnenberg cable car.

While at the lake enjoy the beautiful scenery and make sure to give yourself a pat on the shoulder for completing the hike.
