In addition to its scenic beauty, the Kaltbrunnental Valley is a great outdoor playground for families. The stream offers fun activities and children's canyoning, easy access to the water, and barbecue areas are available. A hot tip, especially in summer.

Already 12,000 years ago, gatherers and hunters used the protection of the caves in Chessiloch.

A great tour that we really enjoyed. In order not to have to walk the same route to and from Hirnichopf twice, we walked the official hiking trail shortly after the start to Hirnichopf. A small trail with steps and lots of variety. When descending from Hirnichopf again on the "official" path, I had to say: "If I had had to go up here..." (a climb from here would definitely have made my pulse race). So it's better to use the official hiking trail shortly after the start. A short stop at the Metingerbeg restaurant also refreshed us. Otherwise the route was great and we liked the view! Thank you

A worthwhile excursion destination that, when the weather is clear, offers a unique view from Säntis to Mont Blanc. As is well known, many roads lead "to Rome". You can get up and, if you want, "over" the mountain by car, bike or cable car. The "Weissenstein" hotel and spa is the gastronomic flagship of the Weissenstein and is praised not only for its huge viewing terrace, but also for the quality of the food on offer. Numerous flat paths and paths that are also suitable for strollers and wheelchairs run across the Weissenstein. Those who like to put a sausage in the fire will be tempted by well-furnished barbecue areas.
