best season
The hiking taxi takes you comfortably from Zweisimmen to Meienberg by appointment. The hiking trail from Meienberg leads you directly into the Diemtigtal Nature Park and the Spillgerte nature reserve. The hiking trail leads past flowering alpine meadows, cow pastures and roaring mountain streams. You reach one of the highlights, the lake Seeberg, after only a short hike. At the Seeberg mountain restaurant you have the opportunity to fortify yourself before continuing via the stand in the direction of "Vordermenige" and "Menigwald". In Menigwald, the cosy mountain restaurant Sennhütte Menigwald invites you for lunch or a snack. Perfectly fortified, the trail leads you through the "Gündlisgrabe" down to the "Bodenallmi". You hike along the "Narebach" on a short asphalt section until a bridge crosses the "Narebach" near "Lussweid". From here, the hiking trail leads directly to your hiking destination, Anger, and thus to the PostBus stop.
General information
Directions
The hiking taxi takes you from Zweisimmen to Alp Meienberg. From Meienberg, the hiking trail leads in half an hour directly to the lake Seeberg and thus into the Diemtigtal Nature Park. From the lake, the path turns left and after 10 minutes you reach the Seeberg mountain restaurant. Continuing along the hiking trail in the direction of the stand, the Diemtigtal takes you into one of its most beautiful and wildest areas at 1900 m above sea level. After a hiking time of approx. 1.5 hours, you reach the mountain restaurant Sennhütte Menigwald, which invites you to linger and enjoy. From here, the hiking trail leads through the "Gründlisgraben" until it reaches the road at "Bodenallmi" after about 40 minutes. Follow the Meniggrundstrasse along the Narenbach stream until the trail branches off to the right after about 10 minutes and continues over a bridge towards Anger. From here it is just under half an hour until you reach your hiking destination, the Anger PostBus stop.
