Sentiero dei Cavatori" (Stonecutters' Path) circular hike

The hike starts at Alpnach Dorf railroad station. The easy ascent leads through an old alleyway to the hamlet of Schoried and a stretch along the large Schliere. From there, the ascent is somewhat steeper, mostly through the forest to the Guber quarry. In 2003, the "Amici" of Guber repaired the hiking trail together with the civil defense. The "Sentiero dei Cavatori" (Stonecutters' Path) was the access to the quarry until the road was built in 1949. About halfway along, you pass the "Piazzetta dei Emigranti" (Immigrants' Square). Once you reach the top of the Guber, you can enjoy a magnificent view over Lake Alpnach and the mountains of central Switzerland. The hiking trail up to here is marked with white signposts. It then descends again towards Etzweid and the village of Kägiswil. The last section leads along the Wichelsee lake back to Alpnach village.
