Geological Trail on Roggenstock

The geological trail climbs from Oberiberg to the open alpine pastures on Roggenstock, reaches its highest point near Bockeggen and returns to the village past Restaurant Buoffenalp.

The Geological Trail on Roggenstock starts at the Oberiberg, Neuseewen bus stop, almost in the heart of the village. Before long, the trail leaves the houses behind and climbs steeply across open meadows. A short section runs outside the marked hiking trail network, after which the circuit continues on a yellow-waymarked hiking trail.

After around three kilometres, the highest point is reached near Bockeggen at approximately 1'570 m. Around Roggenstock, the geological trail tells the story of the area’s geological past. Open alpine pastures dominate the landscape; later, the route passes through damper meadows and descends in a broad arc towards Buoffenalp. Seeblisee lies slightly off the route.

The trail passes directly by Restaurant Buoffenalp. It then continues downhill until the first houses of Oberiberg reappear towards the end. Passing Restaurant Sager, the circuit closes after around nine kilometres and just over three hours at the Oberiberg, Neuseewen bus stop.
