Hueser Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very exciting, varied and promising path. You should be a little free from giddiness. Sure-footed of course anyway (T2).

Please do not encourage others to camp there too. It is forbidden and nature suffers as a result. There is rubbish from campers everywhere and there are plenty of other places where you can camp, just not here! leave your tent at home or in the car. Thanks =)

Absolute dream tour in the 🇨🇭😍

From the car park we walk straight up to the first climb - but it's really tough: it's a really steep climb 📈 there's no way to warm up in a relaxed manner 😂
First stop: Sämtisersee
We went down a small path to the left a little earlier (not further along the forest …

August 16, 2022,🚶‍♂️ Alp Soll - Rainhütten - Staubern - Saxerlücke - Bollenwees - Sämtiserseetümpel - Plattenbödeli, Runde ab Pfannenstiel

Super nice mountain hike in the best weather, not so warm again after the rain.
The ascent from Rainhütten to the Stauberen is very well done, but rather steep, stepped and serpentine, I really liked it.
The Höhenweg from the Staubern to the Saxerlücke is something of the finest in the Alpstein, a fantastically beautiful mountain path with constantly super …

Beautiful here in Switzerland 🇨🇭 especially here, in the Alpstein 😎
The only killer today were the temperatures: 36 degrees in the valley in the early afternoon and around 30 degrees at the top 😰

The Geological Panorama Trail runs along the gentle but sometimes exposed ridge from the Hoher Kasten via Staubern past the Saxerlücke to the Bollenwees. Every few meters you discover new perspectives and perspectives. Countless peaks are visible near and far. But the view of the Rhine Valley, the Alpstein and the Appenzellerland tempt you to stop and look at the …

May 26, 2022,Hoher Kasten - Saxerlücke

I planned this tour last year to show my wife the Saxerlücke and the surrounding area. Today was the day. Although the €28 per person for a single train ride is not bad and it was extremely crowded today, it was a wonderful tour 👍

October 31, 2021,Hoher Kasten und Saxer Lücke 🇨🇭

Originally we had the Blößling on the agenda today, but since we were already sitting with coffee in the kitchen before 5 a.m. due to the time change, everything turned out differently than expected. My husband said that the time advantage could be used and I was quick to dig out a tour that had been planned a long time …
