Hunnenflue

The path ends at a railing, and after that there is only air.

Hunnenflue sits at the end of a ridge above Wengen, forty minutes on foot from the village centre. The route follows the road past Hotel Bellevue, climbs briefly through open meadow, and passes Ledi, where the Lauterbrunnen valley and its glaciers first come into view.

At Hunnenflue the ground simply stops.

A railing marks the edge; beyond it the rock face drops roughly six hundred metres to the valley floor. The view runs south to Isenfluh across the valley and north toward Interlaken and the Niederhorn. Benches line the path for those who want to sit before or after. The trail is mostly flat, part gravel and part paved, manageable with a pushchair in summer. In winter, the final stretch can ice over; good boots make the difference. Many continue on to the Leiterhorn, another forty minutes up, for a second view higher above the valley.
