Safety information
Challenging mountain hike along the summit ridge.Tips and suggestions
Currently (March 2026), forestry work is being carried out in the forest. Therefore, the hidden path is not visible.Roadbook
The circular route starts at Mönthal Church. First, ascend to the quarry at Bürersteigstrasse. Then follow for about 50 meters over the vineyard. There, sharply turn left onto a rather hidden path. Soon you reach a forest road, which you cross and then steeply ascend to Burghalde. The footpath on the plateau and along the ridge is particularly charming. Above a bright pine forest, you descend via some steps to the forest path and continue the hike from there until you reach the church in the village.
