MUND - BIRGISCH - NATERS

From Mund, follow the signpost into the Gredetsch valley to Mundchi and from there to Birgisch. From here, follow the main road briefly before turning right onto the hiking trail. The path runs along the road once more before finally splitting off and descending towards Naters. 

Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, as well as sufficient food and drink supplies, should be taken in case no dining or shopping options are available or open. Although the trail is very well marked throughout, for safety reasons, you should always carry a suitable hiking map. Bring poles or other aids.

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

Especially in autumn, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees can still topple or branches fall afterwards. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. You should expect such path impairments when undertaking a hike.

Not all rocks or abysses are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is partly required. If you consider certain trail sections impassable, you should bypass them.
