Some mountains never become famous: the Stockberg located at the entrance to the Wägital is one of this kind. Its shape, reminiscent of a slightly too flat camel hump, is not very distinctive, and its neighbors are higher and better known. Wonderful are the views that present themselves. Between lush flower meadows and a steel-blue sky, the eye sees the gathered Wägital prominences. Chöpfenberg, Tierberg, Bockmattli, Zindlenspitz, Mutteristock, and Fluebrig still wear their white spring garb.
Another reason why only a few people climb it is that you cannot get close to its summit by car or public transport. Bachtel, Etzel, Schnebelhorn, and the like have it much easier in this regard. The view of the Stockberg is repeatedly granted, and you rarely have the feeling of being just a short distance from the large Märchler villages.

Directions
- Coming from the station, hikers pass through the village of Siebnen. After the power plant, the ascent begins. Later, you reach a small road which you follow to Schwändelen. Above Schwändeli, hikers cross a picturesque, little-used path through a forest to then reach the summit with its great view. After a steep meadow, a slightly descending gravel path follows to Tostel. Then it becomes really steep. A path winds partially over stairs and stone blocks through the Schübelbacher Bann and back to Siebnen.Â
