As if you were in an alpine fairy tale: on this trail runners can follow moss-covered forest paths and take gently curved bends under their feet. Against the flow of the babbling mountain stream, this round leads to the thundering Engstligen waterfall – the 600-meter-high natural spectacle alone is worth the trip. But also a rustic covered wooden bridge and the wild mountain landscape on the banks make the route a classic run in Adelboden.

Directions

Always upstream: Starting from Adelboden Oey, this route follows the Engstlige river and passes rustic wooden chalets and farms. Halfway along the route, a stop at the Engstligen waterfall is almost a must. A few meters further down, there is also a good view of the spectacle from a bench. If you have absorbed enough of the concentrated power of nature, you take the loop back. A secure hiking trail then leads you out of the forest again.

Safety Instructions

The more extreme the conditions, the more important the equipment. Longer routes in the mountains require, for example, weatherproof clothing and a small running backpack with provisions.
