Steep Ascent on the Serpentine Trail

Highlight • Trail

This route was significantly steeper and more dangerous than expected. A head for heights is absolutely essential, as there are no safety devices at the top—a significant safety risk.

A beautiful hike in the Alpstein between Säntis and the Hoher Kasten. Moderately difficult tour, but the 600 meters in altitude are tough. Refreshments definitely recommended GASTHAUS STAUBERN and PLATTENBÖDELI, up and down with the STAUBERNBAHN...
Have fun!
