Description
The pre-Alpine route starting in the monastery village of Einsiedeln runs along an old pilgrimage trail towards the canton of Zug. The route begins with a gentle ascent to the Chatzenstrick Pass above Einsiedeln. From Chatzenstrick, you enjoy a wonderful view of the Schwyz Alps. After a short descent to Rothenturm, you reach the next highlight of the route, the famous Rothenturm raised bog. From the natural paradise, there is a strenuous ascent to the Raten. Even on the pass located in the canton of Zug, you enjoy a rewarding view. The last section of the route descends into the Ägerital to the charming Ägerisee.
