Plaffeien village square - Zollhaus - Sangernboden - Gantrischli - Schönenboden - Steiners Hohberg - Mösli - Plaffeien village square.

In Plaffeien, go down to River Sense and follow the river until Zollhaus. Then head towards Sangernboden, a separate village that belongs to the canton of Bern. From here go up passed Muscherenschlund to Gantrischli mountain dairy - it is worthwhile to stop for a snack!

The route continues up to Ättenberg, where the view is lovely. A swift descent towards Schwarzsee valley ultimately takes you on a tarmacked lane to Schwarzsee. Watch out for Mösli restaurant on the way, where you will be gladly catered for.

Continue until you reach River Sense. Follow River Sense back to Plaffeien on the popular walking and biking trail.
