    At the bus stop “Chäli” – directly in front of the bridge – the hiking trail goes into the forest. Following the Engstlige and passing the Chälistone, you reach the impressive descending lower Engstligenfall. Back in the forest, you pass a fire pit and then reach the Bergbach restaurant and the valley station of the aerial cableway. Along the parking lot, you return to your starting point.
