At the last houses we take the turnoff towards \"Holibrig\" to gain height for the first time and let our gaze wander into the distance. During the first part of the hike, the Mythen dominate the panorama. After the Metzg alp, the signpost \"Rinderchruteren\" leads us down to the Chruteren forest. Here the forest repeatedly shows itself as a striking contrast to the gentle alpine meadows. Due to the terrain strongly intersected by karst rocks, the forest remained as it was not suitable for clearing for alpine pastures. At the Bärhalten alp, looking back offers a magnificent panorama of the Stoos Alps and forward into the Muotatal. The path continues over the Füdlen and Laubgarten alps to Wannentritt, again with changing views. From Wannentritt, we see the impressive Chaiserstock chain. The soft terrain formations of the Stoos Alps are replaced by rugged limestone rocks. Down to the valley, we choose the path north around the Schwarzstock. Through the shady forest, we reach the Höch Weidli, a natural viewing balcony over the Muotatal. Just below, we experience a different terrain topography for the first time while passing a rock band. Before alpine and forest roads were built, these were the connecting paths between alpine settlements and the village. At the Frutt, we again choose an old connecting path between the settlements and take the hiking route over the Wissenwand to the lower Flüelen into the valley.
