Cliffside Shelter in Glarus

Super cute shelter under a ledge. With a table outside - great for a break. But please take the garbage back with you!

Between Dejenstock and Mättlistock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Easily accessible path with a wonderful view, sometimes you still walk through wooded areas, but you can still see the lake again and again! In autumn you also have sun at a certain height and can enjoy the bright colors of autumn

The scenery is a dream!
You need to be in good shape - the climb is steep. The path up is very varied, through the forest, over narrow paths on open meadows, over rocks and then down completely on a gravel track (extremely strenuous, also very steep). There are plenty of views on this route and there are also a …
