In addition to picturesque landscapes, the hiking trail is lined with rare plants such as native orchids, butterflies, birds, and—with a little luck—even wildlife like deer, hares, and capercaillies.
Various lookout points offer a first-class view of the Rigi, Pilatus, and the Mythen, and on a clear day, even the Säntis seems close enough to touch.
Traditional taverns and picnic areas invite you to recharge your batteries and give your legs a brief moment of rest.
Religious buildings and the Morgarten Monument offer a vivid history lesson set against a picturesque landscape. Morgarten is closely linked to the origins of Swiss history. It was here, in 1315, that the historic and historically controversial Battle of Morgarten took place between the people of Schwyz and the Habsburgs.
