Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Pleasant to drive agricultural road, not tarred, ideal access to the open space and the further ascent towards Hirzel Höchi.

Bench with a view of the Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

Anyone who tackles the slight ascent towards Moorschwand will be royally rewarded for the few meters in altitude: weather permitting, many of the most famous Alpine peaks are within reach (Säntis, Glärnisch and many more).

Ascent to Hirzel-Höchi

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Very steep at times, but with the ultimate reward for viewing Hirzel-Höchi: a small tarred road leads to Zimmerberg-Platz with the best view of the Alps towards central and eastern Switzerland.
