The Mythen circular route from Holzegg is a wonderful hike under the spell of the two Mythen mountains and promises extraordinary views.

You start at the Holzegg mountain station, walk towards Haggenegg, and via G�nzigs, Hasli back to Holzegg. During the hike, you always have the "Gross" and "Chli" Mythen in view, whether behind, beside, or in front of you. Additionally, from Haggenegg downwards, you walk a short stretch on the "Jakobsweg". For hunger and thirst, there are opportunities to pause at Skihaus Holzegg, Berggasthaus Holzegg, Alpwirtschaft Zwischet Mythen, and Berggasthaus Haggenegg. The hike leads through the "Mythenbann", the oldest protected hunting area in Switzerland from the year 1492, where, depending on the season, wild animals like chamois, eagles, and marmots can be seen.
