"Morgenberghorn 4 hrs. 30 mins." The signpost at the schoolhouse in Aeschiried leaves no doubt: the way to the summit is long – and you want to get down again as well. So you should set off early. First intermediate goal is the Aeschispitz, a lovely viewpoint. From there the path leads over Bireberg and Greberegg to the Brunni hut. The ski club Leissigen runs the mountain hut with a dormitory. The northwestern flank of the Morgenberghorn towers impressively above the Alp Brunni. Through an apparently insurmountable barrier winds a chain-secured chimney. The easy climbing through the "Chemi" is quick, then we ascend the long west ridge to the summit. On top stands a forged iron flag, painted with a Swiss cross and Bernese bear. A summit logbook is also deposited.
The Morgenberghorn offers a 360° panoramic view. Far below lie Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and around stand a whole series of walkable summits: Augstmatthorn, Niederhorn, Sigriswiler Rothorn, Niesen, Wätterlatte, Dreispitz and Schwalmere. At some point, you should think about the descent, because the return is still far. Down the south ridge, partly secured with chains and scree. Impressive are the deep views into the valleys of Saxeten and the Latrejenalp. At the Rengglipass, the passage from the Saxet valley into the Suldtal, then begins the leisurely part: over the alpine huts of Mittelberg, along the Latrejebach, to the viewpoint bench with a view of the 80-meter-high Pochtenfall and finally through the romantic Suldtal.
