Following the traces of the muleteers, the short and technically easy circular route offers diverse views of the Urserntal. Start and finish is Hospental with its distinctive tower.

After starting at Hospental railway station, parallel to the tracks you soon cross an old arch bridge over the Furkareuss. Following the tracks of the old muleteers, you now follow the historic Furka path on a ridge for a short distance. After crossing the cross-country ski trail, a short ascent begins towards Bielenboden. The view sweeps over the beautiful Urserntal with Andermatt in the background. After a gentle descent, a beautiful ridge follows with a subsequent descent to the Reuss. Following the river upstream, you soon reach Hospental railway station again.
