The Balmberg is particularly notorious for its extremely steep approach from Welschenrohr. There, the asphalt climb climbs approximately 400 meters with gradients of up to 25%. From Günsberg, it's considerably easier – in comparison – but still a real fitness test!

The Chöpfli is always worth a hike. With a bench and two fire pits, you can look forward to a relaxed summit situation. You will also find a summit book in which we have been immortalized many times. So sign it and be amazed at who all comes to this special Jura summit.
