As a comfortable one-day route of the Gommer forest path, the section from Reckingen to Niederwald is recommended. The forest provides the hiker with shade from the hot sun rays.
As a comfortable one-day route of the Gommer forest path, the section from Reckingen to Niederwald is recommended. The forest provides the hiker with shade from the hot sun rays. Below in the valley lie sun-burnt villages and dreamy hamlets. The route between Reckingen and Niederwald runs without crossing a single road.
Author’s recommendation
The Gommer Pass of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn entitles the holder to free travel in 2nd class on the route Oberwald - Fiesch Feriendorf
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

The weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it is better to turn back early.
