Bench on the summit of Lauberhorn

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Bench on the summit of Lauberhorn (2472m). The highest point in the background is Schwarzhorn (2928m). Lauberhorn is an easy walk-up from Kleine Scheidegg and offers great views over the Berner Oberland.

For those who think the fence is ugly (see discussion below), have a look at the drop behind it! (and realise that this is an easy hike up from a popular tourist train, so lots of people and children in summer)

Ugly Fence!

Hasn't voted

What a shame there's an ugly chain link fence and institutional bench in such a place....

	Hasn't voted	Well the bench is a very nice one to sit on for the views on Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau (although it's missing a board here) and the fence is also no luxury, to the left of this there's a HUGE vertical drop. Since this mountain is a very easy and short hike up from Klein Scheidegg, I can imagine there will be lots of tourist climbing it every year with perhaps little children.... But I agree, for artistic value it'd better be removed :-)

	Hasn't voted	Hey Rafa, I'll adjust the caption. Thanks for making a page of this mountain. I think this picture explains pretty well why the (ugly) fence is there! Cheers, Rick
