Ascent/Descent Atzmännig

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very nice intermediate hike, sometimes it is quite steep uphill and downhill. Hiking poles an advantage. Surefootedness must be present. Alpine experience is an advantage. There are very nice viewpoints and a fantastic view of the Alps.
On the way there are always benches as well as very nice barbecue areas to relax and enjoy the view. There are also 2 additional mountain restaurants on this hike along the way.

Important: This hike starts directly from the public parking lot. (Toll-free)

For your information: moderate hike

View of the Lone Tree at Schwammegg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The wallpaper found on the internet at s2.best-wallpaper.net/wallpaper/2560x1600/1609/Beautiful-sunset-mountain-slope-tree-clouds-houses_2560x1600.jpg fascinated me right away. The rolling hills, the style of the houses and the silhouette of the mountains seemed oddly familiar, even though I didn't know where this place was. After researching the internet using various map services, I was able to find the location of the tree. It was immediately clear to me that I would set off there equipped with a camera in order to record the scenery from the same location, angle and image section if possible. I uploaded the results as a photo for this highlight. (I do not upload the original image for legal reasons and refer to the link to the wallpaper).

Now I'm starting this highlight as an experiment and I hope the community is just as fascinated by this photo and uploads their own pictures here. If possible, the photos should be taken from the original location, at the original angle and with the original image detail. Logically, the colors will never be the same as in the original, nor may the mountains in the background be obscured by clouds, but the photo album will show the same tree in changing situations, taken by different people passing by on individual tours.

So please only upload photos for this highlight that correspond to the template.

Now I'm looking forward to your photos...

A beautifully situated mountain inn with wonderful views of Lake Zurich and the surrounding mountains. The inn is accessible via many paths and is therefore often well-attended.

Chrüzegg-Chümibaren Summit

Highlight • Summit

Directly next to the Chrüzegg, a little higher up, lies the Chümmibarren. The climb is definitely worth it. At 1,313 meters, the Chümmibarren offers a fantastic view that includes the Alpstein Mountains and the Churfirsten.

December 11, 2022,Atzmännig - Tweralpspitz - Chrüzegg - Atzmännig

Today's tour started and ended at the Atzmännig amusement park.
I followed the snowshoe route completely in the snow, partly even on still completely untouched terrain up to the Tweralpspitz and on to the Chrüzegg.

As soon as the first snowflakes fall, they attract the first snowshoers, who dig up paths and meadows with the irons on their feet. On Sunday, this round could be completed easily without any arctic equipment.

While my son was completing his emergency aid course in Jona today (fortunately it was possible, despite an injured left knee and broken right heel bone 🙈), this little door nearby came in handy. I also have severe muscle soreness in my front thighs from the tour 2 days ago and just wanted to move around a little. The “walking …

A panoramic tour with wonderful views of the Churfirsten, the Säntis and Lake Zurich awaited us this morning. The starting point was the valley station of the Atzmänning - chair lifts, which were still in the morning peace. From here you can reach the top of the mountain in a few minutes and thus enjoy a magnificent mountain panorama that …
