A beautifully situated mountain inn with wonderful views of Lake Zurich and the surrounding mountains. The inn is accessible via many paths and is therefore often well-attended.

Libinger Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The path leads from Älpli, Loh, direction Libingen. First you hike over lush flower meadows, then through beautiful narrow and somewhat steep forest trails down to the Tobel. At the Tobelbrücke the Schnebelhornbach flows into the Libinger Bach.

I had this loop in mind for a long time as a spring or autumn hike. Guess what - it's spring now.

Once you've conquered the altitude meters up to Chrüzegg, it's mostly a high-altitude hike with beautiful views to the left (in the distance the mountains of Central Switzerland) and to the right.

On the drive to the trailhead I was so excited to break the fog line, only to descend back into its grasps, my hopes dashed. Fortunately, only a few minutes of walking lead above the …
This harmless, beautiful, varied and very promising ridge hike leads up and down over a few "summits". A wonderful tour 👌, which I have done several times, if you are interested in the more detailed route description, just read here: komoot.de/tour/321665907
