The terrace offers stunning views of the Glarus Alps, the Churfirsten Mountains, and the Bernese Oberland. The hike from Hüttenberg takes about 45 minutes, and from Schutt, about an hour. https://www.bergrestaurant-atzmaennig.ch/

The summit (Chümibaren, sometimes also Chümmibarren, or Chrüzegg), just west of the Chrüzegg mountain restaurant, is definitely worth a visit. The summit cross, view, and bench are all worth a visit.

The highest point of the Rickener Nagelfluh range. This mountain is ideal for combining with a longer hike between Rotstein and Chrüzegg or Chummibarren. Beautiful views toward Säntis. In spring, numerous white crocuses bloom on the slopes of the Obere Tweralp.
