Blatten - Hegdorn - Stahlgasse- Naters

From the stop Blatten b. Naters cable car, the path leads to the old village and along the historic route to Mehlbaum and Geimen. It then continues towards Moos. On the way, between Moos and Obermoos, a mule drinking trough carved in stone is visible on the left side. In Moos, follow the road to the main street and cross it. The route then leads into Hegdorn and via Bellavista and Stahlgasse down to Naters.

Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, as well as sufficient supplies of food and drinks are recommended as there may be no opportunities for breaks or purchases. Although the path is very well marked throughout, for safety reasons you should always have a suitable hiking map with you. Bring sticks or other aids.

Despite the “unmistakable” marking of the hiking trails, for safety reasons we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map so that, for example, in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly find a safe area.

Particularly in autumn, be aware that leaves on the ground may hide unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may drop. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths may have muddy and slippery sections. Expect such path impairments when hiking.

Not all rocks or drops are secured with ropes or railings. Some areas require surefootedness. If you feel certain sections are not passable for you, you should bypass them.
