Zirleseck in Zöblen

Starting from Zöblen-Katzensteig, we hike southwards. After the last houses, it slowly goes a bit uphill. The Pontental begins. We continue to follow the path. Slowly but constantly, we gain some altitude. After the tree line, we gradually reach the mountain ridge. Here, there is the option to hike to the Rohnenspitze or the Ponten. We keep right, pass the mountain rescue hut, and shortly after arrive at the Zirleseck. Enjoy the wonderful view of the surrounding mountain peaks here. We descend to the Älpele alpine hut. After a short break and a delicious snack, we continue downhill. Shortly before the first houses, we keep left and hike on the high path back to the starting point at Zöblen.

Please note that mountain sports can carry an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparations through endurance training, appropriate technical training and further education, as well as personal prudence reduce accident risk and hazards. But never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
