Trail description

A 5.6 km climb of about 530 m from Kandersteg beside the Öschibach and through the Öschiwald forest to Lake Oeschinen, a deep blue lake walled in by cliffs and waterfalls below the Blüemlisalp. The path passes the Berghotel Oeschinensee on the shore and climbs on through the Feiserwald above the water. The gondola from Kandersteg offers an easier way down.
