Re: The Toggenburg 'Legend' Hike

Toggenburg seems to have gone down well with 'viewers'. I'll now add our latest walk to the Thread.

This Hike in Central Switzerland has fantastic views over Lake Lauerz, the Rock-fall area above Goldau, Lake Zug, Lake Lucerne, Glarner Alps.

Round the Rigi Hochflue SZ The Rigi (on Lake Lucerne) from a different angle- 4½ Hours, ca. 450m up and 1,100m down
Brunnen - Urmiberg – Gätterli – Zilistock – Bärfallen - Brunnen
Not for young children and not for the faint-hearted.

Small Urmiberg cable car (6 places, pay at the top) from Brunnen (on the road from Brunnen to Gersau) to Timpel
Path over to Gätterli well marked. The short diversion up over Gotterli is worth the effort.
From Gätterli (Restaurant) to Zilistock follow the path leading upwards behind the restaurant itself. Then follow signposts. Easy going at first, then 150m gain in altitude on steeper, rocky narrow path, well marked, ‘fenced’ at side. Down – easy at first, later in the woods steep slopes and sometimes slippery roots. Alphütte at Bärfallen which is just right for a short break before tackling the last downhill bit. Easier going again with fantastic views of the lake.
If you ever use walking sticks/poles, take them with you!
