The route on this leg leads from the Oberchäseren to the Tanzboden mountain, skirting around the Speer. At 1,950 metres above sea level, this peak is the highest in Europe to be formed out of Nagelfluh, a type of conglomerate rock. This short leg involves almost no uphill climbing. When you arrive at your destination, you will be rewarded with an Alpine restaurant and a magnificent view over the Obersee lake and Lake Zurich.
