Muotathal - Circular route Guggeli

We start in Wil, the oldest part of the village of Muotathal. From the old monastery, it goes to the St. Josef monastery, where some Franciscan nuns still live and work today. In 1799 the Russian General Suworow took up quarters in this monastery when he fought the French in Schwyz. But this hike is not a battle, it is a pleasure. The road leads to Guggeli, where a break is worthwhile. The self-service broom tavern in the Gaden and its seating in the sun invite you to linger with a view of the imposing Wasserberg. This is followed by a small climb over forest areas and wild streams to the highest point of the hike, the Änzenenbänkli. Feet stand still, the gaze wanders further over the broad, flat valley floor: from Ried over Muotathal and towards Bisisthal. The gentle descent leads through open pastureland back to the monastery and finally to the starting point. The hiking trail is not signposted.
