Bützi - Stockflue
A short but incredibly scenic alpine route (T5) to the distinctive rock tower high above Brunnen. Both the Mediterranean-like vegetation and the varied hike with simple climbing sections thrill young and old alike.
Locally, the distinctive rock tower in the mountain forest is called the "thumb" because of its shape. On the topographic map, however, it is called Stockflue and is the destination of a popular short alpine route above Lake Lucerne. Beautiful sections in the bright pine forest alternate with challenging rock passages, some equipped with fixed ropes and metal steps. Inexperienced hikers and children can be secured here with a rope. A final steep ascent leads along ladders and wire ropes to the summit of Stockflue with its phenomenal view over Lake Uri. Those who do not want to use the nearby small cable car preferably choose the leisurely descent via Schränggigen.
A visit to the nearby mountain restaurant Timpel is worthwhile even if you do not choose the cable car for the descent. The view from the terrace is hard to beat!
