From Nebikon to Zell - via Ebersecken and Ohmstal

From Nebikon northwards, following the shallow course of the Wigger stream, hikers soon catch sight of the unmistakable silhouette of the historic village of Altishofen on the left. Altishofen Castle, built by "Swiss King" Ludwig Pfyffer, towers majestically over the Wiggertal with its outbuildings, magnificent garden and church. It is worth taking a breather in the midst of this historic scenery, as the path climbs steeply through the forest and soon descends again to Ebersecken. The ups and downs are characteristic of this hike. As you walk over the hills, new views open up again and again, past farmsteads with plenty of agricultural land and down into the next valley. The path winds its way to Ohmstal. The Maria Opferung chapel was built on the site of a former monastery. The highest point of this hike is on the Bodeberg. Once again, the fantastic view of the distant mountains beckons before the hiking trail leads down to Zell.

Schloss Altishofen

 Unterwegs bieten sich mit dem Landgasthof Sonne in Ebersecken und dem Kurhaus Ohmstal zwei ausgezeichnete Restaurants zum Einkehren ein.

In Zell können sich die Wandernden im Restaurant Sonne stärken, bevor es mit dem Zug heimwärts geht.
