This quiet winter hiking path is bordered by the Wildbach Muota creek on one side and farmland on the other. It is not signposted, but easy to find.

If you arrive by bus, start at the 'Vordere Brücke' bus stop. If you come by car, park at Rambach. The path always runs on the embankment. On the left, the Wildbach Muota murmurs; on the right, your eyes sweep over the flat valley floor used agriculturally by the farmers. In the background, the mountains rise, giving a sense of why Muotathal is one of the ten largest municipalities in Switzerland by area. After about an hour, you reach the village of Muotathal and its cozy inns. The return to the starting point is by the same route, either on foot or by bus.
