    For a leisurely start, the first section leads to Gimmelwald. Upon arrival, it goes down into the Sefinen valley and finally back up through the Busenwald on the other side of the valley. The ascent is about 700 meters. The viewpoint "Tanzboden" can be reached by a small detour. From there you have a breathtaking view of the entire Lauterbrunnen valley. Of course, you should take the opportunity to have a little dance on one of the most beautiful dance floors. The route then continues to Hotel Obersteinberg, also known as the "candle hotel." The path now leads down past Hotel Tschingelhorn towards Stechelberg. However, the path branches off a little earlier again towards Gimmelwald. It is also possible to return from Stechelberg to Mürren by gondola.
