Circular hike from Langis with wonderful panoramic views from Pilatus over the mountain ring of the Sarneraatal to the Bernese and Vaud Alps.

From the post bus stop in Langis, the path leads down to the Ochsenalp and crosses the Steinibach. Here you alternate between nationally protected raised bog and low bog areas. On the ascent through Münchboden, this is evident through the specially adapted communities of bog plants and animals.

From Alp Seli, the path climbs more steeply through Mettlenbuel to the ridge and reaches the Riedmattstock to the west. A wonderful panoramic view opens up from Pilatus over the mountain ring of the Sarneraatal to the Bernese and Vaud Alps. On the ridge hike to Miesenstock, the path leads through a varied alpine flora. From Miesenstock, whose name originally means moss, there is a wide view over the BLN area Haggleren-Glaubenberg. This means the entire area belongs to the Federal Inventory of Landscapes and Natural Monuments of National Importance. Additionally, there is a view of the Central Plateau and the Jura. Over Trogenegg you reach Seewenegg and then descend again to the Glaubenberg Pass.
