Bussalp via Abbachfall to Weidli

Once you arrive at Bussalp via the 126 busline, it's worth taking a detour to the viewpoint, which is only 15 minutes away. The view of the Bernese Alps with their imposing peaks is breath-taking. Back at the actual starting point, the route leads down a narrow meadow path towards Holzmattenläger. The first special nature experience awaits you on this section. Marmots can be found halfway up the trail. Their warning whistles can often be heard, but it is especially nice to encounter these shy animals directly. Curious, they poke their heads out of their burrows and look at the hikers.

The hiking trail finally leads over the rushing Bussalpbach stream via a metal footbridge. Before Holzmattenläger, the signpost points to the right, down through the shady forest and across lush green meadows. The path finally joins a dirt track, the access road to the In Matten area. This is an easy and comfortable route to the next waypoint. The view sweeps over the marvellous mountain world of Grindelwald again and again in the extensive curves to the Abbachfall. The waterfall can be heard and seen from afar. It unfolds its full splendour shortly before the end of the hike. At a bend in a small wooded area, the falling water is only a few metres from the road. After the longer section in the sun, the cool, moist air at Abbachfall is very pleasing. The last section on the road to the Weidli bus stop is just a few minutes' walk. Two benches invite you to linger there until the bus to Grindelwald arrives.
