Hochwacht Lägern, Mountain restaurant in Regensberg, Switzerland.
Hochwacht Lägern is a mountain restaurant at 853 meters elevation near Regensberg with views toward the Alps. It features a restored tiled stove in one dining room and provides seating both indoors in separate rooms and on a spacious terrace.
The site opened as a guesthouse called Waldschenke in 1888 on this hilltop location. The building was expanded significantly starting in 1895 with the addition of residential spaces that shaped what exists today.
The restaurant keeps Swiss mountain cooking traditions alive by preparing seasonal dishes and homemade baked goods using ingredients from the region. Dining here gives visitors a taste of how people in the Alps have long eaten and gathered together.
The location is reached by walking from Regensberg, which takes roughly 45 minutes since there is no road access. Prepare for a hiking path and wear appropriate footwear for the climb.
The interior has several dining rooms of different sizes, with the smallest holding just 16 seats and another intimate room with the tiled stove seating 12. This contrasts sharply with the outdoor terrace, which accommodates many more guests in the open air.
