Select your Region:
The spectacular mountain trail from Staubern up to the Hohe Kasten is the heart of this grand hiking tour. Hikers who don't know the terrain may at times get a queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach, since the trail leads through rocky terrain with steep descents.
The trail is nowhere interrupted, exposed or dangerous. If the uphill stretches make you uncomfortable, you can hike the tour in the opposite direction. The views of the Rhine Valley deep below and of the Alpstein mountains are spectacular in both directions of the tour.
Other attraction: Lake Sämtis; geological theme trail
