Easy hike from Rotenthurm surrounded by the beautiful moorland, up to Mostelberg with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. 

Start in the center of Rothenthurm at the St. Antonius Parish Church Rothenthurm and follow the signposted route of SchweizMobil number 836. After Biberegg, cross the Steiner Aa. From there, the ascent begins over meadows and through the forest. Along the route, you repeatedly enjoy a great panorama. You look at the village of Rothenthurm and the Ägerital. But also the surrounding peaks like the Rigi massif as well as the Schwyz, Uri, and Bernese Alps can be seen. Then you enter the Mäderen forest. Upon reaching the small stream, the highest point of the route is reached and then you go down again. The destination is Mostelberg. There you can relax comfortably at the Mostelberg mountain inn and then take the revolving gondola lift Sattel-Hochstuckli down to the village of Sattel.
