Saxer Lücke

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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 =)

April 9, 2023,Hike to Saxerlücke

The weather forecast was good. We were optimistic and expected clear sky on top. However, we did not get to see the famous view of Saxer Lücke we expected to see.
We started our hike from Nasseel Parkplatz. Its hidden in the forest and way to Nasseel is not clear. It took us to 817 meter and rest 800+ meter …

Today I went from Sax via Saxerlücke to Fählensee (Bollenwees) and back again. Bollenwees is open again today. The hiking boom was noticeable again today.

November 18, 2021,Nasseel - Underalp

Start: Nasseel car park which is open to the public. First I went up through the forest towards Unteralp, where I had lunch. Then I climbed a few more metres in altitude, but severe pain in my leg forced me to turn back.
