Hikers’ parking, unofficial payment demands
56 Narrenbach, 3756, Zwischenflüh
Been here?
Hikers' parking area with shelter, BBQ, toilets, water and a small local produce shop, well maintained for overnighting. No signs restrict parking or charge fees, but a local man sometimes approaches vans demanding cash payment (around 27-30 CHF) — this isn't an official fee and travellers report refusing it without issue. Generally quiet with little night traffic, though the site sits somewhat close to the road.

Very pleasant place, but a man came to demand cash from us. There is no sign indicating that it is private parking or that parking is charged... We refused and left.Translating
Parking area for hiking departures. With shelter and barbecue, grill and wood available. Toilets, water source, and a small local shop. A well-maintained place with everything needed to spend the night. We really liked it!Translating
This man thinks he is the sheriff of the valley; he sells his dairy products and needs tourists. He has no authority. Enjoy this place to the fullest.Translating
A completely suspicious-looking man came and asked us to pay. It's a scam... Unfortunately for him, my partner is from Thun...Translating
Spacious and with fantastic on site facilities. If you travel in the busy season and want to guarantee the bbq area you can reserve for 30CHF but it was quiet so we didn’t need to. Also a superb little shack with local produce and food stuff. Need cash. The only negative is a Swiss gentleman did knock on our van and ask for money to park here, said sorry but no cash and little kids asleep. He left
A man came in a Toyota Land Cruiser and wanted to charge us 27 francs per night.Translating
