Description
The name Gsteig was first documented in 1312 under the name Chastalet. In today’s language this means watch, defense, and refuge tower. The 7 km hike leads us from Gsteig through Rohr to Dürr and further over the Längmatte to the castle. Here we reach the highest point of the hike. The return route to Gsteig takes us through the Rotengraben and Innergsteig. Various information boards and a brochure available at the tourism office tell us interesting facts about the municipality of Gsteig-Feutersoey.
