A beautifully situated mountain inn with wonderful views of Lake Zurich and the surrounding mountains. The inn is accessible via many paths and is therefore often well-attended.

Directly next to the Chrüzegg, a little higher up, lies the Chümmibarren. The climb is definitely worth it. At 1,313 meters, the Chümmibarren offers a fantastic view that includes the Alpstein Mountains and the Churfirsten.

My 100th Komoot Tour 😁😁😁

Of course, it HAD to be something more special!
It was a really cool tour!
Up and down until the calves learned to yodel 😉 (really great that my mum is so fit and accompanied my dog and me 💝) a wonderful day with a crowning glory with a delicious Huuskaffi on the Hüttenberg.
