Sihl ErlebnisWeg Stage 1 – Unteriberg - Untersihl - Studen

The hike starts in Unteriberg in the canton of Schwyz and follows the young Sihl, which rises here in the source area of the Schwyzer Voralpen. From the Minster, an important tributary, the Sihl Erlebnisweg first leads into the alpine area. At the Chanzel, panoramas open up into the Unter- and Obersihl, with peaks such as Lauiberg, Mieserenstock, and Höch Hund. Below these mountains lies the Sihl source in the Chrälöch, origin of the river that flows to Zurich. The steep descent over the Ofenplangg requires surefootedness and experience. From the Alp Ortegg, the path follows the course of the young Sihl through wild mountain landscape before the route leads down over Gripschli to Studen SZ. Here ends the first of seven stages of the approximately 100-kilometer multi-day hike from the source to the mouth of the Sihl.
