It's the "boss," so to speak, like the Brocken in the Harz Mountains 😅... up here, you have a wonderful view of the entire Alpine panorama on one side and the Jura and France on the other. If you have good visibility 😊... we were lucky …

From home, I can see my local mountain Kaiseregg in Schwarzsee, but from the balcony, I can …

If the Chasseral didn't have this tower, most people wouldn't know the Chasseral either. You can see this 114m high tower from anywhere when you look at the Jura chain. Incidentally, in 2010 the …
