The Naturfreundehaus is open on Wednesdays from 12:00 to 16:00 and on Sundays. Wonderful views of the Alps. By bike, you should take the path from Rumpelhöhe towards Homberglücke. This way, everything is rideable except for a 3-meter staircase. Those who want to cycle directly up the military road from Rumpelhöhe will have to push the last 150 meters, as it's too steep.

The Aare is canalized here, making its course even more peaceful. A bridge allows you to admire the river in its entire width.
