Chli and Gross Aubrig – From Einsiedeln to Innerthal
The two classic “Voralpengipfel” Chli- and Gross Aubrig offer very nice views and are usually snow free quite early in the hiking season.
I originally planned to start my hike in Willerzell, but when I arrived in Einsiedeln at 7 AM there was no bus to Willerzell for more than half an hour, because at home I looked at the bus...

Walking along the Linth channel and Obersee - from Ziegelbrücke to Bollingen
If you like easy flat hikes which don’t have big inclines, the Linth plane should be perfect for you. Walking along the Linth channel is almost completely flat. We walked from Ziegelbrücke to Bollingen, almost 20 km and the altitude difference we made was about 20 meters…
There’s not much else to say, the walk started at...

Kamor & Hoher Kasten – A hike from Rüthi in the Rhine valley to Wasserauen
After more than 3 weeks of "mountain abstinence" I felt a lot like some elevation. Nothing too serious, but up there somehow was my motto. The Appenzellerland sounded like the right choice and so I traveled to Rüthi in the Rhine valley.
In the Rhine valley everything was blooming and it was very warm when I got of the bus. I...

Western Raaberg – A snowshoe tour to a not so well known
Western Raaberg is not well known amongst the mountains surrounding Amden. After Mattstock, Gulmen, Flügenspitz, Leistchamm and Chapf it only plays the second fiddle. The SAC guide (Säntis und Churfirsten) only describes the eastern most peak (1723 as Raaberg) and doesn’t even mention the highest point with the summit cross (P. 1779...

Stockberg – taking advantage of a short ridge of high pressure
The weather forecast for the Toggenburg promised a short ridge of high pressure for the afternoon; a short window of more or less blue sky. With all the snow we got in the past days the avalanche safe short ski tour from Stein to Stockberg seemed like the perfect thing to do in the afternoon. When I changed trains in Wattwil it rained and I was...

Why 360?
As most of you probably noticed I am a big fan of 360 panoramas - that's of course why I chose 360 as my hikr username.
I create these panoramas by taking approximately 15-20 pictures (orientation portrait) all the way around in a circle. Sometimes I use a tripod but often I don't. In order to stitch the single images to one picture, I use the software
The Panorama Factory. It also offers the option to create quicktime virtual realities (QTVR), where you can zoom in and out and interactively turn around. However, I usually use
Pano2QTVR to create QTVR represantations of the jpg images.
In order to view these panoramas you need the quicktime plugin from apple:
