A beautiful circular hike starting from the sunny terrace Brüsti over the Gibelstöcke, where we enjoy a wonderful panoramic view, down past the Seewlialp and the traditional mountain farms Regliberg and Wettmatt back to the starting point in Attinghausen.

After the adventurous train ride, it is worth taking time to study and enjoy the panorama from the sunny terrace Brüsti. The path rises slowly to Nossenboden, a popular barbecue site with running water and toilet. Through the last outposts of the forest, we reach the alp area. Alp Grat is the highest point of our hike.

It is worth resting again and enjoying the panoramic view. Slowly, the path goes downhill towards Seewlialp. If you are lucky, you can observe deer, chamois, stags, or eagles. A short break is worthwhile at Seewlialp. Once again, we can enjoy the wild Uri mountain world, then the path goes into a romantic wild forest. We enjoy the shade and emerge at Regliberg into a large clearing, where a farm is managed in the traditional way.

Then we enter a forest again, with a completely different character, until we reach the meadows above Attinghausen at Port. From here, it is a hop back to our starting point.
