Karstspur Silberen

The ascent takes you steadily away from grazed alpine pastures to the inhospitable, bizarre karst region of the Silberen. The whistle of marmots shows that you have long been discovered. Chamois also understand the signal and flee. Hardly imaginable that 10,000 years ago prehistoric hunters definitively hunted red deer and ibex here. Near the summit cross you will find traces of a long-gone settlement. The breathtaking panoramic view and solitude invite you to linger. From here the widely visible marked trail leads across the high plateau towards the east and finds its way through a water-shaped, legendary karst landscape. With some luck, ptarmigans appear here. Unexpectedly quickly you find yourself in the extensive sheep pastures of the Silberenalp. Countless small water puddles reflect the sunlight. The return path to Pragel is characterized by the view into the Klöntal with its deep blue mountain lake.
