Discover Hohfluh on a hike and learn about its village history. The signposted village walk starts at the Alte Post information board and also includes a barbecue area. The route is listed as 3.6 km long, with 153 metres of ascent and descent, and takes 1 hour and 10 minutes; it is rated moderate. This gives you a specific time estimate for planning an excursion.
Hiking between the village walk and the winter route
A longer option is the winter hike, rated difficult, from Hasliberg Reuti via Hasliberg Goldern, Hasliberg Wasserwendi and Hasliberg Hohfluh to BrĂĽnig-Hasliberg. It is listed as 10.1 km long and takes 3 hours, with 363 metres of ascent and 420 metres of descent. Compared with the village walk, both the distance and the stated duration are greater; the difficulty ratings also differ. This lets you compare the two hikes in terms of time and level of challenge.
The Bsangtenfluh trail is listed in Hasliberg-Hohfluh as a circular route to a viewpoint. It adds a route with a named destination to the details about duration and difficulty. When weighing up different hiking options, different features take centre stage: the stated duration for the village walk, the longer distance for the winter hike, and the viewpoint for the Bsangtenfluh circular route.
Historic houses along the Hasliberg Village Trail
The Hasliberg Village Trail is a historic route through the villages of Hasliberg. In Hohfluh, it leads to building No. 32, a large residential house built in 1797. The year gives this point along the trail a specific historical connection.
Another large residential house in Hohfluh is numbered 57. Its original central section dates from 1596 and was built by the renowned master builder Hans Julmi from the canton of Fribourg. For this building, the date refers specifically to the original central section. Together, the two dates mark different building periods: 1596 for the central section of building No. 57 and 1797 for residential house No. 32.
Hohfluh Church
Hohfluh Church was built in 1938–1939. It is a wooden church with seating for 70 to 90 people. Its features include the Rieger organ, which was inaugurated in 1969 and is still played today. The construction period, building style and organ each give the church a distinct historical connection.
The church is open daily: from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in summer and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in winter. Check the opening hours before your visit.
The chapel project in Hasliberg-Hohfluh
In March 1948, the Kultusverein (religious association) was founded at the bishop’s request. Its task was to build a chapel in Hasliberg-Hohfluh. The project was completed in 1975, and the chapel was solemnly inaugurated in 1977. This sequence—founding, completion and inauguration—sets out the project in three clearly dated stages.
