Beskrivning

Its easy accessibility via the Beatenbergbahn cable car and its location on the beautiful Lake Thun make the Niederhorn a popular excursion destination, which can also be combined with ornithological observations. Although the diversity is, with a good 80 recorded species, not as significant as on the plain, some mountain birds can be observed here relatively easily and against a beautiful backdrop.

From the mountain station (Niederhorn), you can start a ridge walk between steeply sloping rock to the west and gently sloping mountain meadows to the east. These meadows merge into mountain forest, which is still in sight. The rocks to the west are home to flight artists such as alpjärnsparv, murkrypare, and alpkaja. The citronsiska can be found in the meadows and near the trees. The calls of the vattenpiplärka , which breeds in the meadows, are omnipresent. ängspiplärka have also been observed on rare occasions. With luck, the two species of grouse, which are sensitive to disturbance, can be observed. The calls of the spillkråka can be heard from the forest and the tretåig hackspett can also be observed. There is also a good chance of seeing the ringtrast, stenskvätta and Mindre korsnäbb up close.

Tillgänglighet

The Niederhorn is accessible via the Beatenbergbahn in Beatenberg (see link below). Press P on the map for directions to the parking near the cable car station. It is advisable to be in the area early, as the cable car is heavily used by tourists. There are a number of viewing platforms along the way that offer good views of the cliffs. The trail is relatively easy and about 2,5 km one way.
