    Sehr lohnende Tour, obwohl das letzte Stück vom Alpsee zur First (touristisch sehr überlaufen) kann man sich schenken u stattdessen zum Waldspitz absteigen(1h) u von dort den Postbus nehmen. Die Zeit u Höhenangaben stimmen hier nicht, errechnete Gehzeit 6h u doch gute 600hm abwärts.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung, am sehr warmen Apriltag und vor der Touristen-Saison. Wunderschöner Blick während der ganzen Wanderung auf den See und die Berge. Zum Hotel Giessbach geht es dann etwas steil nach oben, aber es war gut zu bewältigen, auch nach der Winterpause. Es braucht gutes Schuhwerk und Trittsicherheit, der Weg ist hier und da etwas schmaler und uneben. Ich werde die Wanderung sicher wieder einmal machen. Kann ich also nur empfehlen.

    Schöne Wanderung auch bei grosser Hitze. Kinder ab ca. 4Jahren können diese Tour gut bewältigen, wenn sie sich laufen gewöhnt sind. Würde Buggy nicht empfehlen. Kiwa nicht tauglich. In der Hälfte der Stecke toller Grillplatz Holz reichlich vorhanden.

    Ganz toller Wanderweg! Die ersten zwei Kilometer sind etwas steil, aber mit immer wieder tollen Ausblicken auf die Wasserfälle. Sobald man oben ist, wird es technisch einfach.
