Guggershorn (or Guggershörnli) is a nagelfluh mountain (1283 m a.s.l.)[1] with a conspicuous summit rock in the Bernese Prealps, northeast above Guggisberg in Switzwrland.[2]

In 1828, the Sternenwirt Blaser built a staircase on the summit rock as a tourist attraction. The Guggershorn with its viewing platform and panorama board has been a popular excursion destination ever since.[3]

In culture

[edit]

Guggershorn has become famous as the setting of the Guggisberglied, Swiss folk song.
