Itinerary description

This follows trails 37, 36 and 34 ( blue lines) in the hiking map included.
Take the train from Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald to Kleine Scheidegg station. Hike up or take the train to Eigergletscher station.
Enjoy the views because these are the best of the whole trail.
From there the trail continues with some ups and downs under the Junfrau gondola for a while. After a cascade it descends steeply to Anglilen train station. From there you can take the train to Grindelwald or continue the descent by foot.
