Themed route of the foundation "Urwaldreservat Bödmeren". Start at the primeval forest pavilion with an interesting exhibition as an introduction to the primeval forest trail. Inaugurated in July 2015 with support from the ACCENTUS foundation and the lottery fund of the Canton of Schwyz.

At the primeval forest pavilion, a special brochure about the primeval forest trail can be obtained. It describes the 9 stations along the path on a special topic related to the forest.

From the pavilion (parking lot) at the Lower Roggenloch, you reach the small road within a few minutes and follow it to the Upper Roggenloch. From here, there is a moderate climb to the summit point on the east side of the Roggenstöckli. Here the path forks towards Twärenen (Silberen) and Wolfsbüel and further to Alp Tor. However, the themed route leads us down by the Roggenstöckli with its marmot plangg. Further through an open forest zone with birch stands and a breathtaking view of the Forstberg and Druesberg range. You follow the path over impressive limestone pavements to Stägen and turn right at the fork and shortly afterwards reach the road again to the Upper Roggenloch. At the signpost, turn left again and finish the route at the alpine farm Unteres Roggenloch.
