Hikers then follow the flat natural road to Schlattli (Pt. 569) and climb up on the opposite side of the valley to Uf Ibrig. After the ascent, there is a pleasant intermediate section along Ober Gibel. Over the marsh area Chaisten, the mountain path reaches Handgruebi, where the last part leads over the Gründel to the stage end St. Karl (Pt. 1165). Part 1b: From the Hildegard Hotel St. Karl at 1165 meters above sea level, the mountain path steadily descends on the sunny south slope towards Illgau and from there down the old Fluh path into the valley of the Muota (Pt. 582). After a short sidewalk section, the path turns towards Wigetli/Tristel and follows the rushing Muota to the Wil district. From afar, the stage destination Monastery St. Josef is already visible. Part 2: The hiking and mountain paths of the third stage are well developed and almost never lead over paved roads. It goes over extensive alpine pastures, through shady forest areas, wonderful flower meadows, or impressive valley crossings. From Monastery St. Josef, the hiking trail follows the Muota to Hinterthal and from there up the deep gorge of the Hüribach to Stali (Pt. 907). A short section downhill and then the forest road turns left towards Frutt and further to Goldplangg. The following mountain path over Wannentritt and various Stoos alp pastures brings hikers to the winter and health resort Stoos. From there, the path continues on the old road to Morschach, where the stage destination Antoniushaus Mattli awaits." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2858759/28962fb2b5a1cc5744ce978cd2d8d61b74db858d9dad36e5897c870f30216b92/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Welcome to Lucerne > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Path of Creation ================ - Tip - 43.82 km long - Difficulty: difficult - Condition: difficult - Great panorama - Theme trail The Path of Creation is a three-part spiritual hiking trail that leads through a landscape as beautiful as it is varied, always encouraging new sights and wonder, and connecting with the created environment.
