Biglen
On such day with a nice weather, the famous hiking ways are full of tourists from Japan.
Today we tried an unknown place Biglen, a hidden quiet hiking route but with wonderful view of Mountains.
Biglen is located at the river that gathers water from Eigergletscher and forwards it to Trümmelbach fall.

To save the time we have to find a compromise. Let's take the train to Alpiglen which costs CHF16 from Grindelwald.

It is strongly recommended to start from Alpiglen. Then you have always optimal lighting for mountain view.
