    This hike leads through Änner Blatt further to Blindbärgji. Then you continue through the forest to the viewpoint, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Geimen, the Glishorn, and down into the valley.

    This easy hiking trail is also suitable for families. There is quite a bit for children to discover along the path and in the forest.

    Author’s recommendation

    Take your time and linger at the viewpoint.

    Safety information

    Despite the “unmistakable” marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map for safety reasons so that you can quickly find a safe area in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency.

    Especially in autumn, note that leaves on the ground can cover uneven spots, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may drop afterwards. Especially in bad weather conditions, natural paths can become muddy and slippery. You should expect such trail impairments when hiking.

    Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Sometimes surefootedness is required. If you feel that certain sections of the path are not passable for you, you should avoid them.

    Roadbook

    From the Blatten bei Naters cable car stop, the path initially leads towards the old village. At the signpost at the barn, turn left and head to Änner Blatt. Past houses and old barns, follow the paved path until shortly before its end. Here, a path branches off to the left, leading you to Blindbärgji. When you reach the forest, take the right (descending) path and after about 10 minutes, you will reach the viewpoint. Warning: after passing through the gate, children should be held by the hand.
