Niederrickenbach Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The Hochdorf, which essentially consists of an old monastery complex, can be reached via a cable car. Great alpine panorama and absolute silence and seclusion.

A really beautiful causeway. It's also car-free! On nice days you can practice slalom skiing, as the path is also popular with walkers!

Once again I take the long road, bend by bend, to the Buochserhorn! Today would be the perfect opportunity to ride your bike all the way up to the cross! The Buochserhorn is free of snow up to the top and there are no hikers. But today I don't have enough time, I have to take the short option, i.e. …

Today I was able to tackle one of my seasonal goals. The Buochserhorn was on my radar before the big hiking season. I set off from Stansstad at 6:30 a.m. with a leisurely warm-up ride to Büron. From here, it continues to climb steadily until you have managed a good 1100 meters in altitude. Luckily, practically everything was in the …

Ahh sure, the last 300 m are no longer rideable, too steep.. then please carry your bike again!!
Super beautiful up there with an incredible view! The effort is always worth it!
And of course the departure!! Simply great..!💯
It was nice and certainly not …

Buochserhorn again!
I charged my batteries with paella the night before. With España power, the energy should last until the summit today!
@Lars Däppen 🚴‍♂️Bio🚴‍♂️ accompanied us on today's edition, and this time in the best weather.
The asphalt road stretches for a long time, up 1100 meters in altitude, to the Ochsenweid Alp. After that, the bike is still …

After the first attempt in 2021 without a summit experience, we managed to crack the Buochserhorn this year. The view from the summit is simply magnificent! However, the biting wind only invited us to linger for a short time, so there will definitely be a repeat event when the temperatures are warmer. Nevertheless, being able to do such a tour …

Dream day above the fog❣️

Mild temperatures on the Buochserhorn, fantastic views and a peaceful atmosphere!
Driving down from the Buochserhorn is pretty cool. The trail on the other side of the valley is quite worn out at times... the many wet leaves don't make it any easier!😌
... a challenging S3..!👌🏻


A wonderful day❣️

Wonderful day, fantastic tour, magnificent panorama, mega trails❣️

When you're standing on top of the Buochserhorn, you can hardly get enough of this amazing panorama!

But what's left to do with the descent really makes the feelings of happiness bubble over again..!!
