The challenging hike in the moorland is of national importance. It takes you from the Schwanden, Säge bus stop to Dünzenegg. There the path branches off to the left to the Alps Tönimoos, Schnabel and Tüelboden to Reust, the northernmost hamlet in the municipality of Sigriswil. This is followed by a short descent into the gorge to the Fischerloch, where only the babbling of the brook can be heard. A place of power shaped by natural elements. Then the path leads you upward to the Grüneneboden biotope. It is worth pausing here to admire the acrobatic flight of the dragonflies. After about 250 m, about 20 m above the forest road, the largest silver fir in the Sigriswil forest can be admired. The fir is about 250 years old and has a height of over 40 m, with a wood volume of about 16 m3. Along the small Zulg, you hike back to Schwanden.
