At the Sinsgäuer Schonegg, an impressive panorama opens up: on the left rises the Hoh Brisen, on the right extends the Oberalper ridge from the Chaiserstuel to the Bärenstock. Also prominent in the landscape are a rock hole and a solitary rock with a cross, known locally as the "Stockzahnd".
Then the path leads more steeply down into the Uri Sulztal. At the Sulzhütte, keep left and follow a wide, mostly flat forest path past peat bogs to Gitschenen. The hike ends there at the cable car station.
Small cable cars on this tour:
- Fell-Spis
- Spis-Sinsgäu
- Gitschenen
Author’s recommendation
- 15 minutes from the Sinsgäu mountain station, the Alpbeizli Haghütte invites you for a coffee or fried cheese
- For the return trip to St. Jakob, it is advisable to check the timetable in advance.
