WanderWunder Schwyz: Circular hike Muotathal with Plate Path

From the Stalden bus stop, follow the asphalt road uphill towards Pragel. Forget this part of the hike; you will be compensated a thousandfold by the rest. At Äbneli/Sturzegg, take the turnoff towards Fedli – (Gross Band) – Gschwänd. The ascent along the steep cliff is challenging, but so are the natural beauties and views! The higher you get, the more open the panorama becomes, and the Urner peaks with firn snow are within reach. Afterwards, follow the mountain path over alpine pastures to the “Eigeliswald” parking lot. The forest areas nearby are known as “Urwald Bödmeren.” You walk downhill along the Pragel road to the signpost in Fruttli. Here you switch to the north side of the Starzlen and thus reach the Plate Path, which crosses a historic mountain debris cone. Huge slabs invite you to linger, and rare orchids bloom by the path. Through Horgrasen, it goes back to the starting point Stalden.
