This mountain hike leads through varied landscapes. Quickly you find yourself away from the bustle in peaceful nature, sometimes on a pasture, sometimes in the forest, sometimes in the species-rich fen. Across alpine pasture land, the summit hike leads into the mountain area, characterized by Nagelfluh. You reach the summit of the Speer, 1,950 m above sea level, via its ridge. Once at the top, the view in all directions is so amazing that every drop of sweat is immediately forgotten. Lakes, other peaks, villages, and rivers suddenly appear so small. Before heading down again, the question arises which path to take. Yes, the paths to the highest Nagelfluh mountain in Europe are surprisingly numerous.

At Nesslau train station, the hiking trail is marked. At the intersection on Thurweg, it goes slightly left uphill, via Bürzeln into the Ijental. A first rest at the small reservoir is worthwhile. Straight ahead then along the stream bank towards the summit, which is always indicated on the signposts. You reach the Schilt area soon via Alp Hengst and Bützalpsattel, where the hiking trails and the number of other hikers quickly increase. You approach the Stelli waypoint from the east on the Toggenburger Höhenweg. From Stelli, head northwards for the last nearly 200 meters of altitude in a zigzag to the summit.

Starting early is worth it to catch the first rays of sunshine on the summit.
