From Mülenen station, follow the road for about 400 m in the direction of Aeschiried according to the signposting. Now follows the only notable ascent of the entire hike. The path soon levels off again and we hike slightly uphill along a wide grassy ridge above the Suldgraben. A short section at the forest edge leads along a pasture with alpacas. After just over an hour, we arrive in Aeschiried, where we follow the 'Panoramaweg' sign towards Därligen.
Soon the view of Lake Thun opens up. From Hellbode we hike on an alpine road past the Tipicamp Wildspur to Rossweid. Here we return to a hiking trail. Through forest, then again across alpine meadows, we soon reach the Leissigen panorama suspension bridge. The 60-meter-high and 144-meter-long suspension bridge was built in 2012. After the suspension bridge, the Hotel Meielisalp is soon reached. A rest on its sunny terrace with a magnificent view of Lake Thun is highly tempting (the sunset from here is especially beautiful). From the Meielisalp, one gently descends over the alpine meadows of Stoffelberg to Därligen.
