Through the forest, alongside moss-covered boulders, the path leads to Lake Tschingel with its changing moods. After a short stretch along the lake to the turnoff to the Bear Path (carved bear). The path runs along rocks and past a waterfall up high over the cliff. On the following ascent, the forest clears and the hike continues over meadows, past beautiful maple trees, up to Gornern. Rewarded with a beautiful view of Gspaltenhorn, Bütlassen, and Blüemlisalp, you reach the mountain inn Golderli. Here turn right, about 100m along the lane, then right over the small bridge along the hiking trail towards the whitewater path. On the way, you come across Pochtenalp, which invites you to take a rest. Then about 200m further, turn right to the whitewater entrance. The descent is accompanied by the roar of the brooks. Before the witches' cauldron, a metal bridge leads left to an impressive waterfall. At the witches' cauldron, you meet a wooden carved witch. After the small bridge, the last stretch follows the road to the Tschingel post bus route.
