    The view from here is terrific in good weather, and the ascent is doable with a bit of fitness. From the (rather touristic) circular path around the summit you should be able to see 6 countries. Thanks to the cable car, it gets correspondingly fuller at the top when the weather is good.

      The LSB to the Hohen Kasten gives even less experienced hikers a great view of the Alpstein, Liechtenstein, the Rhine plain and Austria. A revolving restaurant invites you to stop for a break.

      A geological hiking trail (T2 - moderately difficult, 16 km, 640 m ascent, 1500 m descent) offers educational insights into the history of the earth and leads from the Hohen Kasten to the Bollenwees mountain inn. The path leads along Stauberen, Hüser, Hochhus, and Sachser Lücke, Fähnerensee and also Sämtisersee. You are treated to a fantastic view of the many peaks of the Alpstein. Before heading back to Brülisau, the Plattenbödeli mountain inn invites you to have a refreshment stop.
