Forest path with tree roots

Highlight • Trail

The section between Älpele and Wildsulzhütte should be treated with caution when it is wet! Many roots and stones are then very slippery.

Wildsulzhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the Wildsulzhütte, the path to the Säuling splits from the Älpele. Up around the left and around the Pilgerschrofen (right) down again is the easier option. However, please only with sure-footedness, a head for heights and physical condition!
