Born in the central part of Germany, I started with my parents hiking all over Europa while other kids laid at the beach. Soon as Teenager I was keen to achieve more and learned climbing and alpinism at the German Alpine Club. More than 15 years ago I decided to move to Switzerland, not for tax reason, but to be closer to the Alpes and thus being more flexible to cope with weather changes and alpine conditions. Now I am 55 years old and have almost 40 years of mountain and travel experience. I have guided many people, locals and tourists, here in Switzerland on snowshoes, ski, grampons and hiking boots. Furthermore, I am also course leader and guide for snowshoeing, alpine routes, trekking and via ferratas for the section Pilatus of the Swiss Alpine Club. Lucerne is my home base and from here I have explored all parts of Switzerland, from Ticino to Valais and Engadina. I know Central Switzerland very well and can show you attractive places in nature or cities. If you prefer we explore places away from the tourists' crowds, but if you are here for the first time you maybe would like to see the standard sights. I am very open to offer you tailor-made excursions, no matter if you are families or couples, colleagues or friends, naturalists, hikers or alpinists, photographers. Let me know your dream how to explore Switzerland and I show you the right place! I am looking forward to make your stay in Switzerland comfortable, joyful and memorable!

Buochser Horn, 1807 mt, has a dominant Location south of Lake Lucerne. The Panorama is mindblowing with the view to Mount Pilatus, Stanser Horn, Rigi and other summits in Central Switzerland. Well known by local hikers it is rather off the beaten track for tourists. With approx. 700 mt ascend on a good trail from Niederrickenbach the hike requires around 3. 5 - 5 hours return. The charming hamlet of Niederrickenbach offers with Pilgerhaus a cozy place to have a late lunch or dinner or even breakfast in case you won't have one in your Hotel.
- A train ride to Niederrickenbach Valley Station, approx. 25 mins. - Ropeway to the Niederrickenbach monastery - Hike to Buochserhorn (app. 700 m gain in altitude), approx. 3. 5 - 5 hours, 2 - 3 hours up, 1. 5 - 2 hours down (it varies between 3. 5 and 5 hours based on fitness levels and experience) - stop at Pilgerhaus - Return to Lucern.
