Schauenberg Castle Ruins and Viewpoint

Highlight (Segment) • Castle

There are quite a lot of hikers coming towards you or walking down here, so be careful. I would also stick to the left, better route

At sunset on the Schauenberg, unfortunately only a little snow left. Small fire that quickly burned out in the strong breeze, but gave off enough heat for outdoor raclette :-)

Final hike in 🧑🏼‍🎄Switzerland 2024🎉

Our final hike took us to the beautiful 💞Turbenthal, more precisely to the Gyrenbad path to Schauenberg. The view was simply gigantic - the Alps presented themselves in all their glory. While the valley lay in the fog as if in cotton wool, we enjoyed the bright blue sky above. 🌞An unforgettable experience!🎉

The tour can also be easily done on a mountain bike.

Nice little round, one descent over stick and stone 😉😊
There's a lot to discover 👍🏻
