Show machine translation
Gonten does not have its own regulation on overnight stays outdoors. The cantonal regulations apply.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Ein kantonales Gesetz dazu kennen wir nicht. Der TCS gibt eine Mitteilung der Standeskommission wieder: Zelte nur mit Zustimmung der Eigentümerschaft, kein wildes Campieren; einfaches Biwakieren über Nacht wird im Alpstein in Absprache mit den örtlichen Sennen toleriert. Das ist eine Zweitquelle — deshalb steht hier «ungeklärt», bis die Mitteilung selbst vorliegt.
Show machine translation
We do not know of a cantonal law on this. The TCS reproduces a message from the Ethics Commission: Tents only with the consent of the owners, no wild camping; simple bivouacking overnight is tolerated in the Alpstein in consultation with the local dairymen. This is a secondary source — that's why it says "unclarified" here until the message itself is available.
