From the Top Station over Moos Alp to Alp Sonnhalde

The hike starts and ends at the top station of Hündelbergbahn. From there, first start towards Moos Alp along the ridge. Keeping right, you will come across the so-called Fuchslöcher (fox holes). At the next junction, go left until you reach Alp Sonnhalde.

Now you walk steeply downhill. At Tarzansteg, you cross river Weißach. After a bit of uphill walking, you go to Alp Neugschwend, then to the right and back downhill. You will reach river Weißach again, and see Buchenegg's waterfalls, which are a special attraction.
