On the round hike Rossweid-Salwideli-Rischli-Sörenberg, you will be strengthened by the gastropartners with one course each!
The first altitude meters are comfortably covered by gondola to Rossweid, where coffee and croissants await you at the start of the hike. Then, the nationally significant moors between Rossweid and Salwideli delight with pretty and colorful flowers, and in the blueberry high moor forest you feel transported to another world because of the gnarled mountain pines. After just under an hour you reach Salwideli, where the appetizer is served in the newly renovated hotel Bergwelten Salwideli. In the second stage, the landscape becomes clearer and gentler before the deserved main course is taken about 200 meters lower at hotel Rischli. The hiking trail then continues along the Waldemme to the town center of Sörenberg, about two kilometers away, where the last stage stop is located. The restaurant Bäckerstube rounds off the great hiking experience with a sweet last course. Please arrive by 5:30 p.m. at the hotel Sörenberg / restaurant Bäckerstube for dessert. In May and June, the hotel Sörenberg / restaurant Bäckerstube opens for dessert only from 5:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.
