Weightless over the sea of fog

Tour description

When the midlands are covered in a murky sea of fog, an excursion to the nearby Glarus region is particularly suitable, because from an altitude of about 1500m you can often enjoy a view that is second to none. It is really impressive when only the imposing Glärnisch massif and the high mountains of Uri, such as the Bifertenstock, Tödi and Glariden, stand out like colossi from the "mudflat carpet". You can experience this feeling of sunny hiking pleasure on an entertaining round high above Ennenda in the Äugstenwald nature reserve, which we will take a closer look at. The first snow contrasts with the autumnally To give this hike another special touch, the hike leader shows you a real monster stone at the end and not far from the valley station. How on earth did the Gässlistein get to this place and what is it about the reddish coloured Verrucano?

And culture is not the end of the story: with Ennenda as the starting and end point, a visit to the modern and completely newly designed Anna Göldi Museum is an obvious choice: It is dedicated to the tragic fate of the maid Anna Göldi, the «last witch of Switzerland», who was executed by the sword in 1782, and traces the stages of her impressive life.
