From Interlaken Ost train station, the path leads along the Aare River to the valley station of the Harderbahn and through several, partly very steep hairpin bends through the Bleikiwald to the Falkenfluh - a viewpoint located above the front of Hardermanndli. The rock falls almost vertically below the railing, Interlaken can be seen from a bird's eye view, above it the magnificent mountain range of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. On the well-developed mountain path, the pleasant ascent continues over the wide mountain meadow, with views of Lake Thun and the distinctive pyramid of the Niesen. Past the bustle on the viewing terrace of the Harder Kulm mountain restaurant, the wide panoramic path finally leads to the mountain station of the Harderbahn.
