Hochwart summit hike

Start of the hike is Weisstannen. Along the Gufelbach, the path leads to the impressive waterfall arena Batöni. Arriving at the place of power, we hike along the Lavtinabach up to the saddle. Here there is a phenomenal view of the turquoise Wildsee. From there it is only a few meters of altitude until we reach the summit. From Hochwart there is an impressive view of the Schottensee, the Schwarzplangg, the Pizol summit and the Gaffara valley, where up to 600 sheep graze in the summer months. In addition, there is an impressive view over the St. Gallen Rhine Valley to Lake Constance.  

Can you see the shape of the glacier at that time? Enjoy the panorama and let yourself be enchanted by the time.

On foot it goes from Weisstannen along the Gufelbach to Batöni, to the impressive waterfall arena with its three mighty waterfalls. Along the lively stream, the power place path leads slightly uphill into the forest above pastures to two large stones, which look like a mighty double stone, as they are close to each other. Continue to the waterfall arena Batöni. From left to right we have the Piltschinabachfall, the Sässbachfall and the Muttenbachfall in front of us, which have this order after a length of 81, 86 and 45 meters. At the waterfalls, turn left up towards Stofel. Along the Lavtinabach the path leads up to the Lavtina attel. Now it is only a few steps to the Hochwart.
