Today, on 02.09.2021, it was supposed to be a challenging mountain route again, but unfortunately, not everything went as planned. Because I knew that the north side of the Sichelchamm is a bit of a "shadow spot" in the morning at this time of year, I did not leave home too early. At around 9:00 a.m., I started the route at the "Höhi" parking lot on the Voralp.

Many hikes in the Alpstein often run "lengthwise" along the folding of the Alpstein. This mountain hike aims to cross the Alpstein from the foot of Säntis in Schwägalp in the northwest "crosswise" to the Rhine Valley in Sax in the southeast.

Another beautiful autumn day brings me again to Wildhaus and from there on foot to the Zwingli Pass. In the valley below there is high fog and I enjoy the day under a blue sky with a magnificent view.
