Klewenalp-Brisenhaus SAC-Niederrickenbach

star star star star star

Gorgeous trail, good for family hikes and the Brisenhaus is a great rest spot. Don’t forget to order the Apple pie, best in the world when you are sitting down for lunch or just coffee and cake. A must have. Hike has some steep parts, but trail is well maintained and the view is gorgeous all along.
