The gently ascending hike begins in the center of the village of Grächen and follows the paved road over the sunny section Egga. A few meters past the chapel at Egga near the small-caliber shooting range, the path continues to the right, gently ascending to the Kneipp facility Taa. Then follow the trail markings to Bärgji.
