Beautiful 2-day circular hike. Wonderful views and panorama. Overnight stay at the Freschenhaus with a delicious breakfast buffet.
Overall a demanding route requiring good fitness, sure-footedness, and a head for heights.

Technically a rather easy route with a fantastic view into the valley and the surrounding mountains. Ideal in the pre-season, as it is less crowded then. The approach to Ebnit... narrow and already a small adventure. You always hope that no one is coming the other way and that you don't have to pass each other.

The Hohe Kugel attracts whole hordes of visitors with two short ascents from Fraxern or Ebnit, numerous places to stop for food, a nature friends' house, and of course, its location high above the Rhine Valley with free views of Lake Constance. But those willing to invest a few more drops of sweat will also find quiet paths here. On a beautiful September day after some rainy days, a popular hiking day, I met only 3 fellow hikers here away from the section between the summit and Emser Hütte.
