The route by car is adventurous and in places extremely narrow and goes through rock galleries. If you want to get to Ebnit without stress, you can take public transport. Limited parking is available at the church.

Bench With View of Sattelspitze

Highlight • Viewpoint

Just before returning to Ebnit, it's perfect for a short break, especially because of the beam in front of it, which allows you to prop your feet up a bit. If you pass by there early in the morning, you might be lucky enough to see clouds rising.

Kugelalpe Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Hohe Kugel (1645 m) is one of the local mountains in the area and offers a fantastic view over the Rhine Valley, the Lake Constance basin and also the Swiss mountains.

The Kugelalpe is located less than 10 minutes below the summit

It is leased from October to May by the Union Ski Club Klaus-Weiler and is run by a team of around 30 people. Two people work together in the hut. You can find their names in the hut calendar. If the snow conditions make a climb dangerous, this will also be announced in the hut calendar. You can also call the hut wardens
