Soon you reach the highest point of the hike, the lovely panoramic terrace of the Berggasthaus Wasenalp. Once hunger and thirst are no longer an issue, follow the Wasmerstrasse to the «Martinskehr». From here, a beautiful path leads directly to Rothwald. From there, you can reach the starting point - the Restaurant Ganterwald - in a few minutes via the sidewalk of Simplonstrasse.
