description: "The broad panoramic trail leads through pleasantly shaded mountain forest and offers a comprehensive view of Lake Brienz and Lake Thun, the Bödeli between the two lakes, as well as the majestic summit group of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. From the Harder Kulm restaurant, the path initially runs as a stony but fairly wide and leisurely mountain trail. Then you might even break a sweat when overcoming the considerable climb to the Hardergrat. Afterwards, a comfortable descent awaits on a narrow path through the idyllic Wanniwald back to Harder Kulm. The hike offers a pleasantly easy route profile. We recommend good hiking boots with grippy soles to safely enjoy this unique mountain trail."
