Hiking
The Gommer Waldweg (Gommer Forest Trail) leads you from Reckingen to Niederwald along the quiet and shady southern slope of Goms. A varied elevation profile and wonderful views of the hamlets below make this hike a relaxing day trip.
Right from the start, a special sight awaits you in Reckingen: the covered timber-framed bridge that takes you over the Rotten is a real eye-catcher. The small village of Bodme, with its many old granaries, is also worth seeing. The hike concludes in Niederwald at the train station, where you can visit the Ritz Museum, the pioneering Goms hotel, or stop for a bite to eat in the bistro.
You can board the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn at both the start and finish points and travel to your destination.
