Learn interesting facts about the healing power of local herbs: 10 themed panels make the hiking route along the Forest Promenade an educational herbal path.

From the mountain station of the Bettmeralp cable car, walk eastward through the village to Seilpark Baschweri: here is the start of the themed route Herbal Path, which Nina Brechbühl independently created as a final project for Kollegium Brig. First follow the fairly flat path past Seilpark Baschweri to Martisbergeralp. After about 30 minutes walking time, the route makes a 180° turn back west. After a gentle ascent it levels out again and you now hike towards Alte Stafel. From there, follow the downhill path past the Möriken-Wildegg group house back to the starting point. Pure walking time approx. 1 hour.
