Via Suworow Stage 7: Muotathal – Rear Klöntal
The hike leads alternately on roads, paths, and a Staldenweg uphill. The latter is listed in a 1923 trail directory of the Muothatal municipality as the only cattle trail for the northern valley side of the Starzlenbach. It shows typical features of a traditional alpine lane used by cattle. After about one and a half hours, the Schafmatt is reached. Surrounded by scree slopes, one walks on a beautifully laid path made of huge stone slabs. Further over the Bärenloch follows after just under four hours the Pragel Pass height at 1548 m above sea level.
