About this route
Von Unterems führt die Route zunächst über Weideland und Wald Richtung Westen. Nach Pletschen steigt der Weg zur Bhutanbrücke an, die den stark erodierten Illgraben auf 134 Metern Länge überquert und rund 80 Meter über dem Graben liegt. Danach folgt ein längerer Abstieg durch den geschützten Pfynwald bis zum Bahnhof Leuk.

Difficulty
Physical effort, technical demands, trail conditions, ascent and duration — this says nothing about exposure.
Fear of heights
Exposure only: drop-offs, narrow paths on steep slopes, traverses, bridges and ladders. Assessed independently of the difficulty grade.
Why this rating?
The defining feature is a 134 m suspension bridge crossing the deeply eroded Illgraben; official information gives a bridge height of about 80 m. This is likely unsuitable for pronounced fear of heights despite the hike itself being graded easy.
