Fall hike II - Mostelberg Picture
Sunday, November 15th, 2015 @ 08:00
, Basel
 
This hike takes place in canton Schwyz. From Sattel, we reach by cablecar Mostelberg at 1200 m, where the hike starts. It takes us Southwest to Haggenegg (1414 m), then goes North to Näbikenfirst (1566 m). Over a few kilometers this hike is a ridge hike, however without exposed sections. The hike ends in Rothenturm.

Difficulty: The hike is without technical difficulties, but with about 4 hours walking duration is rather long. Length: 15 km; vertical gradient: 600 m up and 800 m down. Expect 6 hours total duration to account for breaks, pictures, etc.

***Participation: Please sign up to participate, so that I can keep the group size reasonable.***

Weather forecast: partly sunny, or sunny, depending on the source of the weather forecast. No rain.
