Two Days Hike to Saxer Lücke and Fälensee

The Starting Point: Brülisau
The journey begins in Brülisau, accessible by public transport from Weissbad bus stop. Nearby, there are multiple cable cars. The one you want is Sigelbahn Talstation around 3 km away from the bus stop. Just ahead of the cable car, there is a very steep hiking route. We decided to take the cable car up and hike down.

The Journey to Fälensee and Saxer Lücke
After exiting the cable car, the trail descends towards Sämtisersee before ascending again to Fälensee. There is a restaurant near Sämtisersee where you could rest or have lunch, but I recommend holding your hunger until you reach Fälensee and have a break at Berggasthaus Bollenwees. From there, a 1.5-hour hike (and around 1.5 hours back down) to the peak Saxer Lücke awaits you.

Returning to Brülisau
The return journey from Fälensee to Brülisau can be approached in a couple of ways. We chose the most straightforward route, passing near Sämtisersee and following the trail down. The trail is steep, so ensure you have grippy shoes, and be cautious in bad weather or snow (chains might be necessary). If you prefer public transport, you can take the bus from Weissbad again.
