Hiking
At the center of your tour is the Seealpsee, sometimes magically glittering, sometimes like a smooth mirror in which the spectacular Alpine panorama doubles. The Rossmad towers up before your eyes, which with a little imagination resembles a horse's head. The highest mountain in the Alpstein, the Säntis, is also…

Trail Reviews
Easy T4 to get to the summit. Dangerous T2 along the cliffs at lake level, deserves to be at least T3
The start is in Wasserauen at an altitude of 868 meters, a short stopover at today's accommodation at Seealpsee “Berggasthaus Forelle” and throwing off some ballast, i.e. an overnight backpack. 🎒The first 275 meters in altitude are done. Now we go along the Seealpsee (including the cattle drive and cows jumping into the lake 😂). Now the day tour takes you to Rossmad, a horse-head-shaped mountain. Next stop: Berggasthaus Mesmer. You will often have a clear view of the Säntis on this tour. Now follows a challenging, mostly rope-secured climb to Ageteplatte at 1,879 meters - the highest point of the mountain hike. The path leads relaxed downhill to Meglisalp. After a little refreshment, the path initially goes almost flat, then steeply downhill with a few exposed areas and secured by ropes back to the lake. The refreshment in Seealpsee is now more than deserved.
You really work up a sweat on this T2/T3 tour. 😅 The ascent to the Agentenplatte is well secured, with sure-footedness and a head for heights being required. A beautiful view of the wonderful mountain world of the Alpstein can always be enjoyed 🥰 A dream! 😍
