The hike to the Hochstuckli summit is always an experience for me and my dogs. The metres up to the summit I contemplate the varied flora such as gentians or edelweiss. Once at the top, I take time to enjoy the impressive panoramic view of the Rigi, Wildspitz and Ägerisee and soak up the scent of the forest and meadows. With a bit of luck, various animal species such as deer, marmots, badgers or fire salamanders can also be observed. Especially at dusk or in the morning hours, the chance of animal encounters is high. The beauty of nature, the peace and quiet - the Hochstuckli summit is simply beautiful.
You can find the right tour to the summit here.
