Hirnichopf Ridge

Highlight • Trail

Nice ridge from the Nunningerhöchi to the Hirnichopf. Although it is marked as a yellow hiking trail, it is clearly a mountain hiking trail. Good footwear and sure-footedness are recommended.

Beautiful, little-known Gratweg from Stierenberg to St. Fridli about Ulmethölzli and Aemmenegg. Not really exposed, but you should not be afraid of heights ...
