In the background, the Schwyz basin and Lake Uri stretch out, while in front the mighty Grosse Mythen welcomes the hikers. The Restaurant Gipfelstubli, directly at the mountain station of the Rotenfluebahn, offers the perfect place for a first \"coffee stop\" with its wonderful view. From the mountain station of the Rotenfluebahn, the Schwyz high trail leads over lush alpine pastures, soft moor soil, and root-covered paths. The route goes via Müsli Egg, the Alpwirtschaft Zwäcken, and Halbegg up to Furggelenstock at 1656 meters above sea level. The last, somewhat steeper ascent is worth it, because at the top hikers are rewarded with a stunning 360-degree panorama over the Schwyz and Uri Alps. Shortly after the summit, on the descent toward Bommersboden at the Furggelen junction, a short detour to the Alpwirtschaft Furggelen is worthwhile. The cozy sun terrace invites you to linger and offers a fantastic view of the impressive Mythen massif. From Furggelen, the path leads through a varied landscape with moor areas, pastures, and forests – an area with damp soils that almost resembles Scandinavia. It is no wonder that the Swiss Landscape Foundation declared the moor forests of Ibergeregg the \"Landscape of the Year 2019.\" These wetlands host a rich variety of species, including endangered animals such as the capercaillie and black grouse, the cuckoo, or the ring ouzel.
