The direct connection via the Gschliff can now be committed via the newly created rope bridge between Niederwiler Stierenberg and the Hofbergli. The tedious detour around the slide zone is finally history. Unfortunately, the Hofbergli restaurant is temporarily closed due to a change of hosts.

Wanted to stop there I was looking forward to a good dessert the whole hike up to the alp, got there and saw that everything was full outside, well no problem inside, there was still space after sitting down, communication was still good with the staff then came the one and said very toxic in here is not served because it was too much stress we then left without consuming "a shame"👎🤨

Very popular with motorcyclists, mountain bikers and everything that moves. A tip for hikers: avoid the public holidays (ascension!) and Sundays, then you can do it.
