This path leads past historic castles and ruins. The view of the village, as well as Lake Brienz, is impressive.

The path starts at the village museum "Alte Mühle" and leads you over a wooden bridge along the Vita Parcours. The forest path passes the water reservoir and continues to the Rothenfluh castle ruin. Then there is a steep descent to the Tschingelmatte, from where it continues left along the Tschingelmatte towards the Schmidmatta rental pavilion. At the pavilion, you go left along the stream and over the wooden bridge again. The path continues over the valley and slab path towards the Unspunnen ruin, which you reach after about 20 minutes on foot. After the ruin, turn right at the main road and follow the street to Gerbigässli. This alley leads right uphill back into the village and to Bärenplatz. Through Bühlgässli you return to the starting point of your walk.
