Circular hike Kerns - Gerzensee - Kerns

From Post Kerns the path leads along Untergasse to Holzbau Bucher and circles the settlement via Huwel – Rüti to Kägiswilerstrasse. Here it crosses the Kernmattbach and climbs up to the flower nursery in Windeggli. The hike continues to Siebeneich to the chapel built in 1722 in Hostettli, which is consecrated to the "weeping Mother of God of Budapest." Therefore, it is regularly visited as a pilgrimage site by Hungarians living in Switzerland.

From Hostettli the path takes a shortcut eastwards along the forest edge and leads directly to the little road in the Kernwald which leads to Zubersrüti. Here, a generously equipped picnic area with a fire pit invites you to linger. This is located right in the realm of the "Chärwaldräuber," who recount incredible stories on a varied adventure trail.

Five minutes from the picnic area, you will discover the idyllic Gerzensee, which radiates surprising natural charms at different times of the year. 

Past Brandgütsch the forest path leads to Hübeli and over Ribeten – Mühlimatt cross-country back to Kerns.
