Then you walk all the way downhill towards Rickebach SZ. You enjoy a beautiful view of the Schwyz basin. Then a path leads a little above the Rotefluebahn towards Stalden. You then turn onto the main road and walk towards Rickenbach SZ. Then take the path towards Perfiden and follow the path. You are surrounded by many green meadows and may see a paraglider or two landing. In between, a narrow meadow path goes down to the Grundstrasse. A little below, the path continues over the meadow where the Pragelpass path runs through. Then just continue until you end up back in Schwyz at the main square.
