ハプケルンの天然記念物・トップ20

Wonderful vantage point. Can be reached on snowshoes from the Niederhorn mountain station in about an hour.

Beautiful viewpoint

The signpost at the Burgfeldstand is impossible to miss

Magnificent panoramic point Highest peak of the so-called "Güggisgrat", which extends south of the Justistal over the Niederhorn to the Gemmenalphorn. Legend has it that this peak represents the ruins of a destroyed castle. The rocky outcrops that dominate the Justistal west of the peak give the impression of collapsed quarry stone walls. The peak is easy to reach thanks to the railway and the comfortable path.

Instead of a summit cross, there is a signpost

The second highest and most conspicuous peak in the Niederhorn chain. Called Güggisgrat on the national map, the terrain rises gently from the south (Beatenberg) before falling abruptly into the Justistal towards the north. The winter tours offer wonderful views of Lake Thun and the Emmental.

Highest point of the Güggigrat with a wonderful panoramic view

The Augstmatthorn is an impressive mountain in the Bernese Oberland, known for its breathtaking views and rich wildlife. At 2,137 meters high, the summit offers spectacular views of Lake Brienz, the surrounding Alps and, in clear weather, even as far as the Jura. The hike to the Augstmatthorn often starts in Habkern or Lombachalp and leads along well-marked paths through a varied landscape. The trail is challenging and requires surefootedness, especially on steep and rocky terrain. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with wide panoramic views and the opportunity to spot ibexes and other alpine animals.
