Starting from the restaurant Bord in the Zwischbergental, you ascend towards Wiler "Ze Hiischinu" and continue following the Stockalperweg to the "Chatzhalte". Now turn left at the signpost. The hiking trail leads you directly to the chapel Maria Bru. Built in 1715, this place soon became a pilgrimage site. In 1983, the municipality of Zwischbergen had the Marian sanctuary renovated. During a short break, you can consider whether you want to take the shortcut directly back to the starting point or complete the entire circular hike.
The signposted circular route continues into the Zwischbergental to "Wits Bru" by the Tannuwald power plant. From here you walk along part of the gravel road back towards Bord. The signpost shows you when you can turn left. After a short ascent, you reach the restaurant in Zwischbergen, Bord - your starting point.
