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.

August 18, 2025,Nunningen - Hirnichopf - Nunningen

A beautiful tour over the Geissflue, Hirnichopf, and Müeltli. Plenty of fire pits at a good distance, and a water source.
However, I strongly recommend doing the tour the other way around. Then it's the brutally straight Stutz uphill instead of downhill. And going downhill is a sure-fire knee-killer.
