On the road behind the Passhöchi Beizli, the hike begins with the ascent to the left or right of the Rotbach in an open forest, steadily rising to Alp Rick. From there, the path leads up the steep summit slope to the cross on the Rickhubel. In a wide arc, the path continues on a plateau to the northeast ridge of the Fürstein, which is reached via a short steep slope. The panoramic view on the ring of Alps and up to the Jura is fantastic. After a short ridge descent southward, the path leads to Obersewen to the chapel and past the Sewenseeli to the saddle near Sewenegg. Varied on gentle slopes and through loose pine forest, it goes back over Schnabel to the parking lot.
If you do not want to climb all the way to the Fürstein, you can branch off left on the plateau and descend directly to Ober Sewen to the chapel. From the Langis bus stop, the circular hike takes about 30 minutes longer.
