Easy circular hike with a guarantee of enjoyment from Heiligenschwendi via the "Blueme" lookout tower.

This easy circular hike promises great enjoyment guaranteed. The start is at the Hünibode bus stop in Heiligenschwendi. Nature lovers especially enjoy the moments along the way through the Eggwald forest towards Wolfgruebe. A detour to the "Blueme" lookout tower in Schwanden is worthwhile.
