Hotel Brienz

This walk is a nice round in Schwanden. It starts at a parking lot near the shore of Lake Brienz and then walks straight along the Derfibach stream over the Schwarzermannstein site, after which, according to legend, the Swiss flag is hung up again and again without knowing by whom. It is in this environment that it is said to have originated. It then goes back via the Vitaparcours.

The trail starts at the parking lot right on the shore of Lake Brienz in Aaregg. Then through the middle of the forest with the lake constantly in view you reach the Giessbach Falls. A wonderful experience in nature and invites you to really relax before really getting back to the start. This trail can be a bit muddy after a few bad weather days.
