Three times Haselegg in the field of view.

The short hike is ideal for a small route, for families or seniors - since not too many elevation meters are covered either. The hiking route starts near the Chapel Rotmoos, which was built in 1947/48. At Haselegg, you come across a wayside chapel that is said to go back to a "Sträggelen" legend. The prayer house is said to have been built where the "Sträggle" (witch) kidnapped a child.

In some places, the view into the deep gorge of the Rümlig is impressive, especially between autumn and spring when the trees have no leaves. Also striking are some distinctive solitary trees like the lime tree at the highest point of the hill.
