You start at the Anger cattle showground and climb almost 1000 metres in altitude on this day. The climb to the Turne is definitely worth it, because the panoramic view is unique.

Distance 15.2 km
The PostBus takes you comfortably from Oey-Diemtigen to the starting point, the Anger cattle showground in Zwischenflüh. From here, the hiking trail leads up towards the Seeberg lake, whereby you hike along a section of the mountain road towards Meniggrund. Shortly afterwards, however, you take the well-maintained hiking trail again, up to Tärfete, where you quickly gain height. The view is already brilliant here, but the highlight, the Turne, is still to come. The panoramic view on the Turne is simply unique and a fine lunch from the rucksack is just what you need.
As soon as you have had your fill, you start the descent via the "Pfaffe" to the "Rinderalp". Here you can fortify yourself with a fine coffee and local products. Via Alp Tschuggen - where you can also taste and buy products from the alp - you hike further downhill to the village of Diemtigen to the PostBus stop. Optionally, you can also hike the last section to Oey-Diemtigen railway station, which will take you an additional 30 minutes.

Author’s recommendation
Pay close attention to the public transport timetable so that the PostBus makes the relatively demanding tour easier for you.
