Spirstock

The hike starts in the small mountain village of Illgau with a cable car ride from Illgau to St. Karl. Before setting off, we enjoy the view of the Fronalpstock and the Muotatal mountains. Even the short stretch to Oberberg is enough to absorb the peace and gentleness of the landscape and switch off. Off the beaten track, the trail continues to Chaltenbrunnen, Eseltritt and up to the first vantage point: Sternenegg. The two myths tower mightily into the air and dominate the panoramic view.

From Sternenegg, the hike leads steadily and easily upwards along sunny gravel and field paths. Cows graze on the alpine meadows and ring their bells. After the Laucheren chapel, it becomes a little steeper until the ascent to the Spirstock is behind us. From the second vantage point on the route, we turn once around our own axis and let our gaze wander far and wide over Lake Lucerne and Lake Zurich, until it is again magically drawn to the Mythen.

On the way back, we hike over the Fäderenberg, Ober Hasen and take the path in Unter Zimmerstalden to the mountain station of the Illgau - St. Karl cable car. The route ends in the village of Illgau after the descent with the aerial cableway.
