Hike above Lake Seealpsee – Wildkirchli and Äscher

You can experience two celebrities in one go on this tour: the mystical caves of Wildkirchli and the Äscher mountain inn, which boldly nestles against the vertical rock face of Ebenalp. It's worth stopping here. While you fortify yourself with tempting Swiss specialties, you can enjoy a breathtaking view. And this is how you get there:

You can float comfortably with the cable car from Wasserauen to Ebenalp, the starting point of your circular hike. You can park your car in Wasserauen or arrive by train. After a short descent you reach the world-famous Wildkirchli caves with the former hermit house and the altar cave. The Äscher inn follows close behind.

The route then continues gently up and down towards Altenalp. The steep descent through the forest to Seealpsee is much more challenging, but you can find a good grip thanks to the steel cables. When you arrive at the lake, you can first take a (really) cold bath. For those who are less hardy, they just want to cool off their hiking feet. The trail initially continues on a level section, past the Gross Hütten and Klein Hütten Alps, before the route descends steeper again. You walk the last few meters along the Schwendibach back to your starting point in Wasserauen.
