The Rohr circular route offers everything: nature reserves in a lowland moor, tall herbaceous flora in the protected hunting area, high alpine floodplain landscapes, lush alpine meadows, and rest areas.

The beautiful circular route in Unteralp leads from the village bridge over steps to the Mariahilf Chapel. Just a few meters further, the first rest area with a fireplace and creek invites you to linger. After a short break, the path leads up to the shooting house. From there, there is a lovely view of the Urschnertal, the Nätschen, and the surrounding mountains. The route continues to the waterfall of the Gurschenbach. Crossing the bridge, you begin the descent again. Soon you will also see the next rest area, the Rohr barbecue spot, which invites you to the next break and where children can spend time well. Along a farm road, you then walk back comfortably to Andermatt.

For those interested, there are various information boards along the way about the herb educational trail, and there is the possibility to get the Molly package from Andermatt-Urserntal Tourism to offer children a playful time.
