Ridge walk to the Ellhorn

The circular hike is scenically varied and offers impressive views despite the low altitude. The limestone rock face drops almost 300 meters vertically towards the Rhine. After the first flat section along the Rhine (2 km), the path becomes steeper and leads through the Mozentobel ravine. Soon the view opens up towards Gonzen and Gauschla, which you can see particularly well from this tour. On the Heidenkopf you already have an impressive view and it is an ideal place for a break next to the Ellhorn summit.

This is followed by a short descent before the final ascent to the Ellhorn summit at 758 m above sea level. M.

The last few meters to the summit require some surefootedness due to the rooted path. The descent is in the direction of Elltal, where you cross the border from Switzerland to Liechtstein and then hike back into Switzerland. After a short ascent in the opposite direction, you reach the crossing point, which takes you back down via the Mozentobel to the banks of the Rhine and the starting point.
