Miles: 8.5
Time: ?
Year to date miles: 253.1
How to get there:
We were staying in Wengen. From our hotel we headed towards the cable car station in Wengen. From what I remember, you start to see signs for Mannlichen there.
Hike directions:
Wengen - Mannlichen - Mannlichengulp - Kleine Scheidegg
Return via train from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengen (optionally you can walk this).
Map: The hiking map that can be picked up at railway stations is usually sufficient.
Hike description:
The hike up to Mannlichen is physically challenging. It is steep. We did see someone jogging up it! I wish I could be that fit! Glen had vertigo on the hike up to Mannlichen. I didn't find it dangerous at all, but he had a lot of trouble. Most people take the cable car between Wengen and Mannlichen. We've done this before, but figured this time we'd hike it.
