There is a lot of coming and going in warehouses. On Friday, on foot or by bicycle, there are many hikers in the Hochwacht restaurant 850 m above sea level. to be found Despite the crown crisis, new tenants Irene Bolliger (42) and Urs Fankhauser (55) managed to reopen as scheduled. The restaurant remained closed for several years and was rebuilt.
“Until further notice, we offer takeaways and leave the terrace and restaurant closed. We will only decide if we will install tables on the terrace from next week, as allowed by the Federal Council, after the first experiences during the weekend, “explains landlady Irene Bolliger, who is on the grill and the guests who they wait in line. Supplied with sausages and beer.
The Parcours, which leads to the restaurant window, is marked with ribbons. Orders are taken there, homemade cakes and drinks are delivered and collected before continuing to the grill or departure.
The wait is over
Those boarding the nearly hour-long hike from the Regensberg parking lot through the woods or biking to the excursion restaurant will not be affected by the current restrictions. After the four-year closure during the renovation phase, hikers and bikers are happy that they finally have a chance to get food at the camps.
One of the lucky guests is Katharina Lanz, who cycled with the three children Malik (7), Nevio (7) and Tim (4) from Boppelsen ZH and rewarded the children with sausages for lunch: “We did an extra one more Early today we started school at home so we could start on time and eat here. ”
Sausage from afar
In small, remote groups, hungry guests can find enough space to stay in the woods, on the grass, or on the observation deck, even without the furnished terrace, and they can get stronger.
Not everyone was sure if the restaurant was actually open due to the corona virus. Many day hikers, therefore, have lunch in their backpack. Ruth Baumann from Oberweningen also got on the bike and wanted to convince herself first. But I will eat again soon with a colleague. We’ve already fixed it, “says BLICK.
Verena and Toni Blum climbed up from Schleinikon ZH and enjoyed the wonderful spring weather and the long-range view over Lake Zurich and the Alps. “We have been waiting for this opening for a long time and we think the concept is excellent,” they are excited.
Change was not a problem
“Opening is a milestone,” says Hochwacht property owner Sybille Hauser. Not all renovation work has been completed and there have been delays due to corona virus. Some artisans are still working on the site.
Postponing the opening was not a problem. “Perhaps new tenants have it a little easier than other restaurants, because in Hochwacht business is mostly done outdoors and distances can be more easily maintained,” suspects Hauser.
Irene Bolliger also draws a first positive balance on opening day, who still delivers one sausage after another to the waiting guests. “It works like a Schnüerli!”
