The Wolfsgrueb is a junction point (from here to Scheideg, to Pooalp, down to Tössscheidi etc.).

On the Hulftegg-Hörnli-Sternenberg route there are always beautiful viewpoints, especially into the Untertoggenburg and Thurgau, but also into the Tösstal and as far as the Alps on a clear day.

The highlight is incorrectly located; it is not on the Hörnli, but on the path from Hulftegg to Alp Ergeten.

At the Hulftegg Inn, you can stop by and stay overnight in simple rooms. You can find more information on the inn's website: https://www.hulftegg.ch/

Located on MTB route 33. Some questionable meadow trails, a forest root path section that is impassable, steep scree paths that are barely passable, lots of cow fences and turnstiles. Oh well, if you like it.
