The gondola lift takes you up to Männlichen, from where the Romantic Trail starts. Ascending and descending the path winds its way over wild and romantic mountain pastures with anemones, troll flowers, gentians, alpine roses and cotton grass. At the southernmost point of the Männlichen Plateau, the Romantic Trail branches off towards the Teufenschlucht. Having reached Alp Gummi, the trail continues to Alp Bustiglen and past the Arvengarten to Alpiglen. Those who have hiked enough take the Wengerenalpbahn back down to Grindelwald.
The Romantic Trail can also be started on Alpiglen, with the destination Männlichen.
