Hiking in Switzerland
Planning a July hike in Switzerland and finally got my hands on some paper maps similar to what we'd use in the states for PCT or Nat Park hiking. Need a little help with a hike from Wengen to Obersteinberg. It doesn't seem to follow a trail, on and and off streets perhaps? Has anyone done this? I also would like any advice on a hike from Obsersteinberg to Murren. Has anyone stayed at Tschingelhorn Inn?

krowe - I've done a lot of hiking in Switzerland, but I'm not familiar with this one.
I found this on TA though, thought it might help, assuming you've not already seen it:

The Swiss experts will probably chime in, but have you seen this online map? You can zoom in tighter for nice detail:

Wengen to Obersteinberg? You would first hike down to Lauterbrunnen, then along the flat valley to Stechelberg, then up to Obersteinberg. Not to miss, but it is a long hike and the first two legs are not overly attractive IMO. Better take the train to Lauterbrunnen and bus to Stechelberg. The trail from Obersteinberg to Mürren is well signposted and marked - what kind of help do you need?
