Ancient Yew Tree of Balderschwang

Highlight • Natural Monument

Is right on the way to Balderschwang. You pass easily, as it rolls so great downhill. Nicely laid out, with loungers and benches and an explanatory display board.

Obere Balderschwanger Alpe

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Cool drinks, homemade butter, milk and other delicacies are offered on the Alpe. It is worth stopping and lingering on the available benches. The view of the Nagelfluh chain is phenomenal!

Heidenkopf Summit

Highlight • Summit

Quiet and somewhat inconspicuous summit with the typical Nagelfluhkiesel. But even here you have a great view of the northern Nagelfluhkette.
