The path from the cable car station at Mettmen to Leglerhütte leads through the oldest game reserve in Europe. It is almost impossible not to see chamois and marmots here. With a little luck you will see eagles and a few ibex too. The path is easy and accessible for children. Approximately in the middle of the ascent you pass the Kärpfbrücke. If the water level is not too high, you can also walk along the stream under the bridge.
