Talwanderweg (valley hiking trail)

Signalization

Shortly after the starting point Senggiweid you’ll find the idyllic Blauseeli mountain lake, with its fascinating deep blue colour. Take a rest on one of the numerous benches. The trail leads you along the Senggibach (Senggi stream) to the Schulhaus Schwenden (school). Cross the wide Seeboden area in order to reach the Gwunderwasser water playground below Tiermatti. After crossing the streams twice you’ll reach the Viehschauplatz Anger (place for livestock showing Anger). There’s also a log cabin with a barbecue site offering shelter and seating. If you are hiking with a group, you can reserve the cabin log in advance at the Diemtigtal Nature Park tourist office.

The remainder of the path leads mainly alongside the cool forest and the banks of the Fildrich stream. If the Wiriehornbahnen (Wiriehorn chairlift) are operating and you have enough time, take a detour and go up to Nüegg, the mountain station of the chairlift. From there you can enjoy a thrilling descent by scooter back to the valley. The valley hiking trail leads you over undulating ground to the Wampflensagi (Wampflen sawmill) where there’s another barbecue site. The descent before Horboden requires you to be a little bit sure-footed. The last section of the trail, before Oey, impressively shows the force of water. Locals have learned from the last flood and leave a lot of space for the Chirel stream. Just before it you pass the Katzenloch (cat’s hole). There’s another barbecue site with a weather shelter which can be booked at the Diemtigtal Nature Park tourist office.
