Rocky path in the Großes Walsertal UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

Highlight • Trail

Impressive path through rubble. Easy to pass as everything is well trodden down and appears to be cleared regularly, but caution is still required. Sure-footedness is highly recommended.

After paying to park in Faschina, we followed the varied trails T2/3 of the Zafern circular trail to the summit, which promised a magnificent view. The impressive Zitterklapfen, the Rote Wand, the Sulzfluh, and, last but not least, the Piz Buin made us linger for a while.
Afterward, a cooling dip in Lake Constance was a must 🍨☕️🏊
