By / MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

In recent years, there have been more and more stunning scenic restaurants. With advancing times, building a restaurant next to a world-class wonder is no longer a challenge. The Berggasthaus Aescher scenic restaurant, located in Switzerland, is built on the Ebenalp mountain, the northernmost peak of the Swiss Alps, at an altitude of about 770 meters. With its cliffside aerial views, it can be considered one of the most astonishing architectural wonders in the world.

Although the Berggasthaus is just an ordinary wooden cabin structure, it offers a five-star-level magnificent view. Nestled beside a nearly vertical, steep cliff, its unique location is truly breathtaking. The restaurant may seem perilous, but it has a history of nearly 170 years and stands firmly next to massive rocks.

The restaurant serves potato pancakes, meat dishes, as well as specialties from the Appenzell region. It is the perfect resting spot for travelers hiking in the mountains. Enjoying a meal while gazing at the stunning valley scenery is a delightful experience. The view changes with the seasons, and sometimes you can even see the clouds up close.
