01/ Overview
The route
Seventeen carved figures tell a story in the Chilchwäldli woodland. This short circular walk from Ufhusen combines open meadows, forest and a barbecue area that is free to use.
From the Ufhusen, Käserei Dorf bus stop, it is only a few steps to the rifle clubhouse, where the clockwise-signposted circular trail begins. It initially skirts the houses of Ufhusen before crossing meadows and open countryside. Along the way, seventeen carved wooden figures line the trail, accompanied by a story. Just before the halfway point, the route reaches its highest point at around 720 m.
The route then enters the Chilchwäldli woodland. A longer section runs outside the marked hiking trail network but remains part of the signposted themed trail. More figures await among the trees before the Chilchwäldli barbecue area offers a place to rest; it is free to use. Over the final few metres, the trail leaves the forest again and climbs gently back to the Ufhusen rifle clubhouse.

How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.
