The last stage of the high-altitude trail promises another great view. You hike along the ridge from Grosshorben. Once you reach Wachthubel, it's worth taking a breather. The panoramic benches will enchant you with a fantastic view - the Hohgant seems close enough to touch, but the Schrattenfluh and Sichle are also impressive in size. The snow-covered Bernese Alps are of course not to be ignored. After a last look and a souvenir photo, you now hike moderately downhill to the stage destination of Schangnau. After completing the high-altitude hike, you have well earned a delicious meal here. Gasthof Löwen is located directly in the village. Alternatively, you can take a short Postbus ride and visit the world-famous Kemmeriboden-Bad country inn. However, check the opening times in advance and make a reservation.
