    Follow the orange signpost no. 3 «Farnihubelweg». The Farnihubelweg starts at the village square of Iseltwald. From there, you stroll leisurely along the lakeside path until a climb leads you onto the upper Giessbachweg. The path winds through the forest along the rocks; various types of ferns grow here, which presumably gave the area its name. Upon arrival at the Farnihubel viewpoint, you can enjoy a magnificent view over the turquoise Lake Brienz and the distinctive Seeburg at the end of the peninsula. Take the upper hiking trail back through the forest to the village.

    Author’s recommendation

    Enjoy the peace in the forest at the Farnihubel rocks. The place invites you to pause for a moment and fully experience the moment.
