Polish path: Seebodenalp – Oberarth
The so-called "Polish path" (created by Polish internees during World War II) offers you an exciting hike in the protective forest on the north slope of the Rigi. You can reach the starting point, Seebodenalp, conveniently by the Küssnacht Seebodenalp cable car. The path leads over Grodstäfeli towards Alpetli, where you can enjoy an excellent view of the Zug region with Lake Zug, continuing to Oberarth.
The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
Notes
You can find the current operating status of the cable cars and hiking trails here.
So that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, please dispose of your waste at the Rigi cable car stations. Thank you.

I recommend a refreshment before the hike at Hotel Seebodenalp. Enjoy the view of the Küssnacht lake basin and the Pilatus.
