Description
The trail leads at first to the Täsch hut, a popular base for mountaineers planning to climb the Alphubel, Täschhorn and Rimpfischhorn. The path then continues up to the Weingartensee along a former lateral moraine. Scree, rock and cliffs dominate the arid landscape, which has hardly any vegetation. Over the course of time, the lake has dried up. Nevertheless, the place remains a great hiking destination with a wonderful view.
Dominating the landscape is the mighty Alphubel, more than 4,000 m high, whose shape and name suggests a hill rather than a mountain. In the local dialect, “Hubel” refers to a small, rounded mound or a hilly landscape.
