This route, a highlight – one of the most beautiful routes in Central Switzerland

The first ascent (around 800 metres altitude difference) from Muotathal over the Goldplangg makes the legs burn for the first time. Then follows a short descent over Riemenstalden to Sisikon. On the Axen road towards Flüelen with the beautiful view of Lake Lucerne, the legs can rest a bit before the big climb follows. From Flüelen via the Eggberge to Chinzig Chulm, around 1600 metres altitude difference are overcome. At the top you are overwhelmed by the panorama. The toughest part is done and a long break can be enjoyed. Then follows the descent on a church road to Liplisbüel and further on the asphalt road back to Muotathal.
