For the HB9SOTA award I planned a double activation for HB/NW on the same day. I took the first cable car leaving 8:05 at Beckenried und went up to Klewenalp. Klewenstock is close by but do not underestimate how steep the terrain can be.
After the successful activation I headed for HB/NW-021 which was only listed beginning of 2015.
