Bezau: Auf die Winterstaude

A hike with some nice, but also some not so great sections. It starts at the Baumgarten mountain station and leads over the Hasenstrick to the summit of the Winterstaude. The Hasenstrick requires surefootedness and a certain degree of agility, but is easily doable. Out of caution, I don't take dangerous paths and avoid risks. I had no concerns on this section. After the summit, the not so nice section follows steep tow paths to the Alpe Wildmoos, where you can have a good rest. Then it continues over nicer hiking trails to the end, the Sonderdach middle station of the Bezau cable car.

A very beautiful trail. At the beginning, you'll think you're on a procession, but this quickly breaks up as the trails of the panoramic trail descend to the left. The Alpsteig isn't difficult, but it does require proper footwear, especially in wet conditions. At the Wildmooser Alps, there were only cold meals and cakes.

The ascent via the Hasenstrick (Alpine Trail) was challenging. This route is not to be underestimated. Good gear, surefootedness, and a head for heights are essential. The descent was almost boring, although the steep gravel path required concentration. Overall, a nice, varied route. On the way back, there are several alpine huts where you can stop for a bite to eat.
