The circular hike starts in Oberschongau at the church and leads you through the forest on the Lindenberg to the Alpwirtschaft Horben. The alpine hut is located at 800 m above sea level and rewards you with delicious food and desserts. Furthermore, in good visibility, you can enjoy a wonderful panorama. The Alpenzeiger near the alpine hut shows you which mountains are visible. Afterwards, you hike through the Sulzer Forest to the Sulzer Cross. There the path leads over a sunny meadow to Müswangen. The Gasthaus Hämikerberg with a great view of the Central Swiss and Bernese Alps invites you to enjoy the sunset. Finally, you walk back to Oberschongau along the forest edge.

Tip: on the webcam of the Alpwirtschaft Horben (www.horben.ch) you can see in autumn/winter whether Horben is free of fog!
