    Tips

    The path from Aescher towards Chlus is a beautiful mountain path that doesn't require any special requirements, at most you need a head for heights, as is the case with mountain hiking trails. The path is a nice alternative if you want to go to Schäfler and don't want to go on the very well-developed tourist path (which leads directly from Ebenalp to Schäfler).
    The path leads directly along the 1.5 km long climbing rocks of Aescher. You can often see climbers along the way and you just have to be careful that they don't dislodge any rocks that could then fall on you.
    The path is in the sun at midday and the views of parts of the Alpstein, such as the Altmann in one direction and the Hohen Kasten etc. in the other direction, are very beautiful.

      The path also offers beautiful viewing angles and photo opportunities, especially when the fog is hanging in the valley.

        A beautiful ridge path leads beneath the almost vertical rock face of the Ebenalp to the Alp Chlus from the Aescher Gasthaus. There are several small caves and cracks in the rock in the steep limestone face.
