Hochwart summit hike

The hike starts in Weisstannen. Along the Gufelbach, the path leads to the impressive Batöni waterfall arena. Upon reaching the power spot, we hike alongside the Lavtinabach up to the saddle. Here there is a phenomenal view of the turquoise Wildsee. From there, it is only a few altitude meters until we reach the summit. From the Hochwart, there is an impressive view of the Schottensee, the Schwarzplangg, the Pizol peak, and into the Gaffara valley, where up to 600 sheep graze in the summer months. There is also an impressive vista over the St. Gallen Rhine Valley to Lake Constance.

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

On foot, it goes from Weisstannen along the Gufelbach to Batöni, to the impressive waterfall arena with its three huge waterfalls. Along the lively stream, the power spot path gently ascends into the forest, past meadows to two large stones that look like a mighty double stone, as they stand close together. The route continues to the Batöni waterfall arena. From left to right, we have the Piltschinabachfall, the Sässbachfall, and the Muttenbachfall in front of us, which measure 81, 86, and 45 meters in length respectively. At the waterfalls, it goes up to the left towards Stofel. Along the Lavtinabach, the path leads up to the Lavtinasattel. Now it is only a few steps to the Hochwart.
