Brüschstockbügel is a hilltop close to Wägitalersee. It offers a great view to Bockmattli and Chöpfenberg.

In this snowshoe hike, I followed the road from Innerthal up to Schwarzenegg and then to Schwarzenegghöchi (T1, WT1). However, I only mounted the snowshoes when I was about halfway up at elevation 1150 m. From Schwarzenegghöchi, I continued to Brüschstockbügel (WT2). Today there were also two skiers visiting this hilltop.

For the descent I headed down towards Gwürz (WT2), and then got back onto the forest road (WT1). Further down I took a couple of shortcuts down across the snow covered fields, and I kept the snowshoes on until elevation 935 m.

Please see attached GPS track for more details on the route.
