This hike will took us to Innerthal and the Wägitalersee Lake, which are about an hour away from Zurich and is a nice spot to get away from the city. The view of the mountains surrounding the lake is gorgeous.

From Innerthal Staumauer, it is about 400 meters across the top of the dam and along the road to the start of the path up to the peak of Gross Aubrig. The hike is  800 meters up and then back down over the course of 4 hours.

The first hour of the hike up is through a wooded pine forest in a near straight line up. Once you break into the open pastures at about 1200 m you start to get a view of the lake and the mountains surrounding it.  From here on it’s a scenic hike up to the peak over the course of the next 1.5 hours or so. We will take it easy :)

At 1695 meters up, is the peak of Gross Aubrig. From here you’ve basically got a 360-degree view of everything around you. You can see southeast back down to the Wagitalersee lake and the higher mountains around it.
