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!

The mountain tour to Siplinger is recommended as a round trip from the rear Aualpe (toll road) on the Alpe Scheidwang and the Heidenkopf. Once you have reached the height of the ridge, there is a one-off tightrope walk in front of you. The descent over the Siplinger Nadel is a landscape delight for photographers.

Tip: park at the rear Aualpe (toll road) and first on the paved road to Alpe Scheidwang. So the way back to the car leads without further uphill passage on the Siplinger needle into the valley.

Ridge Between Heidenkopf and Siplingerkopf

Highlight • Climb

Super nice ridge with challenging spots. Very narrow, then short climbing inlays are required (sometimes with steel cable and iron treads).

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.

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.
