Description
We start at the Oberalppass. In the morning it can still be cold here. The ascent to the Fellilücke takes about one hour and 15 minutes. Here we still encounter old snowfields far into the summer. New snow must not surprise us either. At the Fellilücke we take a short look back at the Oberalppass and enjoy the view far out into the Central Plateau, if the weather permits.
We then promptly set off for the descent through the Fellital. On the first high plateau Murmetsbüel the morning sun slowly comes. It warms us. Now we can also take the first refreshment break. It is sparse and quiet here and we enjoy the peace away from any civilization.
After overcoming one altitude level, we are already back in the alpine area. Only for a short time do the alpine farmers come up here with their animals. But slowly it becomes spring, the colors of the meadows change to a rich green. The landscape becomes lovelier and more inviting.
Especially interesting is the battle zone of the forest. Trees struggle for their survival. At the Taghorn these are mainly larches that with their gnarled shapes tell stories of long winters, rockfalls, and avalanches.
In the middle of the forest we reach the Treschhütte. A stop is worthwhile. From here you can do some excursions and discover many interesting things.
Through a typical water-rich mountain forest we reach the first agriculturally used mountains: the Upper Felliberg and the Lower Felliberg. Last but not least, we still cross the dark Wassnerwald, where in the times of the muleteers robbers and bandits lurked to rob travelers.
At the main road we reach the bus stop. Regular buses stop here, which take us to Göschenen or to Altdorf and Flüelen.
