Landschaftspark Binntal -
The trail is a leisurely stroll that can be extended as desired. It's possible to start in Ernen or extend all the way to Blitzingen or even further on. This main section first passes through the village of Mühlebach. From there, a hiking trail can be taken below the road, with short stretches on the lightly trafficked road. Upon reaching Steinhaus, it's worth taking a look at the local chapel. Then, crossing a bridge that is installed in spring and dismantled in autumn, the path continues on a beautiful forest and field path to Niederwald.
In Niederwald, there is the option to take the Matterhorn Gotthard train station back to Fürgangen. From there, simply cross the suspension bridge to return to the starting point in Mühlebach.
Make a stop in the small hamlet and look at the sunburned houses: Mühlebach has the oldest village centre in Switzerland of timber construction. Here there is a signposted house trail leading to objects worthy of seeing.
The Café B&B Hängebrigga is located next to the "Goms Bridge" suspension bridge in Mühlebach. The rooms and the café are decorated in authentic Valais style. In good weather, you can enjoy a break on the café’s garden terrace all year round.
After extensive renovations, the Niederwald train station building became the Station Ritz on December 13th of 2019.
