From 1.5.26 until late autumn 2026, the LSB will be completely rebuilt or renewed. Completely closed during this time. I have uploaded the first photos of the dismantling.

The highest peak in Switzerland is definitely not in the Alpstein, as beautiful as it is.

On the themed trail you will learn a lot of exciting things about the impressive Säntis massif and how it was formed over 140 million years. The short circular trail is dedicated to the rock formations layer by layer.

From here you have a beautiful view up to the summit of the Säntis. Due to its exposed location, the 2,501 meter high mountain is very easy to see - also thanks to the 123 meter high transmission tower.
