Description
From the old town, the path passes the Landvogteischloss and goes through the sports facilities towards Chalchtaren. After a steep ascent, the beautiful view of the diverse Napf foreland surprises. On one of the many ridges of a Napf foothill, you hike via Mettenberg over a beautiful plateau to Mörisegg, a former retirement home.
At 950 m above sea level, you can see the uniquely designed mountain chapel St. Joder, called "Tioderchäppeli" by the locals. Soon, the highest point of the hike, Oberlehn, is reached. To the southwest, on a prominent hill, there is a lime tree with seating and an information board that informs hikers about the panorama and the geographical sights.
Soon you will see Menzberg, the highest village on the Napf with about 600 inhabitants. At the Kurhaus Hotel, you can refresh yourself excellently before the post bus takes you to Menznau station.
