I propose an 8 hour, including brakes, and 20 km hike from Hohtenn to Eggerberg.

No, this is not a loop. We will take the train back home, or back to Hohtenn if you came by car, after we finish our hike in Eggerberg.

For the entire hiking route see here:

We will meet at 10:00 at the train station of Hohtenn here:

ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION COST:

Option 1: If we are 2, 3, or 4 people, we can get the CFF offer which provides a day card at a very attractive price. Post a message below to arrange this. For the offer see here:

Option 2: If you don't want to do option 1, then you can get a carte journalier from your commune (ranges between 37 and 45 CHF depending on where you live).

Option 3: For those driving ensure to organize car sharing. For the car sharing organizer, see here:
