From Klewenalp, go towards Tannibüel and further to the alpine hut Stafel (signpost). Here follow the red-white or yellow marked trail towards Brisenhaus. Pass the Alp Buel or Kreuzhütte towards Scheidegg-Grätli and then on to Brisenhaus. From Brisenhaus, it goes downhill through the two alpine pastures Morschfeld and Brändlisboden. On a slight descent, continue past the rest area by the water reservoir until you reach the mountain station Niederrickenbach.
