Description

The Planet Trail from Weissenstein to Untergrenchenberg is an experience for the whole family. Every kilometre hiked corresponds to a billion kilometres in the solar system, which gives you an idea of the dimensions in space. Adults can check out the information boards to pick up the most important features. Numerous fire pits along the way ensure that the children do not miss out. During the hike, the view of the Aare river and the Alps can be enjoyed by everyone; the view from Säntis to Mont Blanc is almost legendary. With the Hasenmatt and the Stallfluh, there are also two promising summits right on your route. And as a treat, several mountain inns tempt you to stop off with their hearty fare.
