Spirstock

The hike starts in the small mountain village of Illgau with a cable car ride from Illgau to St. Karl. Before the start, enjoy the view of the Fronalpstock and the Muotatal mountain world. The short route to Oberberg is enough to absorb the calmness and gentleness of the landscape and to switch off. Away from busy paths, the hike continues to Chaltenbrunnen, Eseltritt and up to the first viewpoint: the Sternenegg. The two Mythen mountains tower impressively into the air and dominate the panoramic view.

From the Sternenegg, the hike steadily ascends gently over sunny gravel and field paths. Cows graze in the alpine meadows and jingle their bells. After the Laucheren chapel, it gets a bit steeper until the ascent to the Spirstock is behind us. From the second viewpoint on the route, we turn once around our own axis and let the view wander far over Lake Lucerne and Lake Zurich until it is magically drawn again to the Mythen mountains.

On the way back, you hike over the Fäderenberg, Ober Hasen, and take the path in Unter Zimmerstalden to the mountain station of the Illgau - St. Karl aerial cableway. The route ends after the descent by cable car in the village of Illgau.
