July 14, 2024,Alpstein-Wanderung Mit Saxer Lücke ... 1000hm+

Nice Sunday tour, suggested and guided by the hiking socks @Markus

Caught perfect weather and I think I have rarely walked such a steep and long path (the first climb of the tour). A really great tour with beautiful views, lots of people but good opportunities to take a break - be it in a restaurant/café or in the countryside. …

November 9, 2024,Saxer Lücke 🇨🇭

Absolute dream tour in the 🇨🇭😍

From the car park we walk straight up to the first climb - but it's really tough: it's a really steep climb 📈 there's no way to warm up in a relaxed manner 😂
First stop: Sämtisersee
We went down a small path to the left a little earlier (not further along the forest …

August 16, 2022,🚶‍♂️ Alp Soll - Rainhütten - Staubern - Saxerlücke - Bollenwees - Sämtiserseetümpel - Plattenbödeli, Runde ab Pfannenstiel

Super nice mountain hike in the best weather, not so warm again after the rain.
The ascent from Rainhütten to the Stauberen is very well done, but rather steep, stepped and serpentine, I really liked it.
The Höhenweg from the Staubern to the Saxerlücke is something of the finest in the Alpstein, a fantastically beautiful mountain path with constantly super …

November 11, 2024,Brülisau - Bollenwees, Fählensee - Saxerlücke - Staubern - Hoher Kasten

Challenging, beautiful hike with lots of gravel and shade, but also beautiful views. Both the Sämtisersee (1209m) and the Fählensee (1446m) have an underground drain! Steep slopes require great caution. Worthwhile stop at the Staubern mountain inn (1745m) and then at the revolving restaurant on the Hoher Kasten (1791m). Sightings of chamois were great, as was a nearby woodpecker and …

July 9, 2023,🇨🇭🥾Wanderung Staubernkanzel nach Saxerlücke, Fälensee/Bollenwees und Sämtisersee retour

Beautiful here in Switzerland 🇨🇭 especially here, in the Alpstein 😎
The only killer today were the temperatures: 36 degrees in the valley in the early afternoon and around 30 degrees at the top 😰

August 23, 2022,🇨🇭🥾 Wanderung Hocher Kasten 🚠 Saxer Lücke-Bollenwees-Plattenbödeli 23.08.2022

The Geological Panorama Trail runs along the gentle but sometimes exposed ridge from the Hoher Kasten via Staubern past the Saxerlücke to the Bollenwees. Every few meters you discover new perspectives and perspectives. Countless peaks are visible near and far. But the view of the Rhine Valley, the Alpstein and the Appenzellerland tempt you to stop and look at the …
