    Sehr schöne Fernsichten, am Schluss spektakuläre Felsen zum Besichtigen. Wind zieht ganz schön, trotz Sonne. Restaurants prüfen lohnt sich vorab. Wer gerne stundenlang ohne Menschen wandert, ist hier auf der richtigen Spur. Ich war insgesamt 4 h unterwegs, inkl Pause 30 Min. Danke für den Tipp.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung Ende November, der Nebel liegt zäh im Mittelland. Auf dem Grenchenberg ist es sonnig und warm. Nach dem Aufstieg (ca. 1 Std.) verläuft die Wanderung eben und man geniesst die Sonne, die Landschaft und die Ruhe.

    Sehr schöne Rundtour. Herrliche Aussicht in die Alpen und den Berner Jura. Die neuen Trockensteinmauern haben mich mit ihrer handwerklichen Präzision sehr beeindruckt. Die Buchenwälder geben der Gegend einen besonderen Charakter.

    Haben die Tour etwas unterhalb vom Startpunkt begonnen, Schmugglerwägli lohnt sich sehr. Leider keine spektakuläre Aussicht auf den Alpenbogen gehabt, die Tour lohnt sich aber trotzdem auf jeden Fall! Wow-Effekt am Grenchenberg Steilhang garantiert.
