A very nice path along the Lindenbach with several picnic spots. However, I find the designation "Tobel" a bit exaggerated.

The Wissenbach Tobel Single Trail initially leads across a meadow. In the ravine descent, driving skills are required. After crossing the stream, the ascent can sometimes only be mastered by pushing.

Very nice area with many paths all over the place. It is worth leaving the Reuss Weg and going further into the "inland". You can follow the Ämtler-Weg or, if you're lucky, take a forest path on the left or right and discover something new.
