The route marked as "Altitude path 1600" runs at an altitude of about 1600 m. It leads across pastures, mountain hay meadows, extensively managed meadows, and through shading mountain forests, offering a magnificent view of the mountains of the Grindelwald valley. Some sections are on hard surfaces.
This varied hike with magnificent views begins at the Holzmatten bus stop. Refreshing is the change between forest, pastures, and hay meadows on the way to the alpine buildings Im späten Boden and Holewang (after Ällflüö–Grindelwald 1h). On an almost flat path, you bypass the pasture ridge descending from Furggenhorn, where the little road descends over the pastures Nodhalten and Räckholtertor to the Milibach stream. For the next section, two simultaneous variants are available on this side and the other side of the stream. However, the large viewing terrace at the Bort intermediate station of the First cable car (after Grindelwald 1h20) is tempting. Besides the magnificent view, soon the swampy-slate spots and the deeply cut course of the Bärgelbach stream at Wandela captivate, before reaching the bus stop Im undren Loichbiel at Scheideggstrasse.
