Directions
From the Blatten bei Naters cable car stop, the path initially leads towards the old village. At the signpost at the barn, turn left and head to Änner Blatt. Past houses and old barns, follow the paved path until shortly before its end. Here, a path branches off to the left, leading you to Blindbärgji. When you reach the forest, take the right (descending) path and after about 10 minutes, you will reach the viewpoint. Warning: after passing through the gate, children should be held by the hand.
Equipment
Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, as well as sufficient supplies of food and drinks are necessary, as there may be no dining or shopping possibilities available or open. Although the path is very well marked throughout, you should always carry a suitable hiking map for safety reasons. Bring sticks or other aids.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
Safety guidelines
Despite the “unmistakable” marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map for safety reasons so that you can quickly find a safe area in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency.
Especially in autumn, note that leaves on the ground can cover uneven spots, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may drop afterwards. Especially in bad weather conditions, natural paths can become muddy and slippery. You should expect such trail impairments when hiking.
Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Sometimes surefootedness is required. If you feel that certain sections of the path are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
