Dear hiking buddies.

On first of July there is the swiss hiking night ( https://www.wandernacht.ch ).

Lots of hikes happening overall in Switzerland on that night.

I wanted the view on the area around Luzern in the night and thought Rigi would give us a nice round trip.

We start at 20:30 and will be done around 3:00 in the night.

Trains leave from Küssnacht all night in multiple directions.

Time Frame:

20:30 meet and start

3:00 back at the station

Not really plan to have a picnic since most people will have eaten already, but there is a nice view point called Känzeli with the view over 4 cantons lake and the villages at the lake.

There we can stop for about 30 min, have a midnight snack before going down and enjoy the view.

Meeting point:

Seilpark Rigi parking spot ( https://goo.gl/maps/S8bweenhEt8HH54r7 ) about 30 min walking distance from the station Küssnacht am Rigi.

Hike:

Starting from the Seilpark we have all 1100 height meters in a row, so that part will get a bit hard.

From then on about 1,5 hours roundtrip without any height meters on the top with nice views and afterwards we go down again.

No cable car at this hour, so bring the best feet that you have :D.

Picnic:

Midnight snack maybe not perfectly timed around midnight

Equipment:

No specific equipment needed, apart from hiking boots and a Headlamp.

Application:

As always there is the possibility to come by car.

Join the car pool and either create a car yourself or have a look who can take you there.

For those who come by public transport please create a "car" in the carpool with about 30 seats and use "public transport" as a description. That way others can join that one and we keep a good overview.

No maximum number of participants.
