Sihlsee high-altitude hike

The Postbus takes hikers from Einsiedeln station to the Sonnenviertel Willerzell at Sihlsee. From there, the route leads a short distance north towards Büel; just before the Green Monkey campsite, the hiking trail turns right, away from the lake, and ascends towards Grueb, continuing to Gueteregg, a very scenic point with a chapel and alpine farm. Now the path continues more or less along the ridge to Rinderweidhorn and Sattelegg. The Bruder Klaus Chapel stands on the old pilgrimage route from Wägital to Einsiedeln, and today many weddings take place here in the summer months. From May to October, holy masses are held every second and last Sunday at 11:30 a.m.

The hike continues towards Chli Aubrig, but halfway at Chrähwäldli, the route turns right again, past Hirzegg back towards Sihlsee, over Büel–Alpfärtli–Geissweidli–Fuchsberg–Tschuppmoos back to the Willerzell bus stop.
