Karstspur Silberen

The ascent leads you steadily away from grazed alps to the inhospitable, bizarre karst area of the Silberen. The whistle of marmots shows that you have long since been discovered. Chamois also understand the signal and seek the distance. It's hard to imagine that 10,000 years ago, prehistoric hunters were hunting red deer and ibex up here. Not far from the summit cross you will find traces of a long gone settlement site. The breathtaking panoramic view and solitude invite you to linger. From here, the clearly marked trail leads eastwards across the high plateau and makes its way through a karst landscape shaped by water and steeped in legend. With a bit of luck, ptarmigan can be seen here. Unexpectedly, you soon find yourself in the extensive sheep pastures of the Silberenalp. Countless small pools of water reflect the sunlight. The way back to Pragel is characterised by the view into the Klöntal valley with the deep blue mountain lake.
