Circular hike «Sentiero dei Cavatori» (stonemason path)

The hike starts at Alpnach Dorf station. The gentle ascent leads through an old alley to the hamlet of Schoried and a stretch along the large Schliere. From there, it goes a bit steeper uphill, mostly through the forest to the Guber quarry. In 2003, the «Amici» from Guber, together with civil protection, restored the hiking trail. The «Sentiero dei Cavatori» (stonemason path) was the access to the quarry until the road was built in 1949. About halfway, you pass the «Piazzetta dei Emigranti» (Emigrants' square). At the top of the Guber, you enjoy a magnificent view over Lake Alpnach and the Central Swiss mountains. The trail up to here is marked with white signposts. Then it goes downhill again towards Etzweid and the village of Kägiswil. Along Lake Wichel, the final section leads back to Alpnach Dorf.
