Geologischer Wanderweg Roggenstock
On this trail above Unteriberg, you walk across rocks that once belonged to three different worlds — European bedrock underfoot, remnants of a vanished ocean in between, and African dolomite forming the bright, striking summit of the Roggenstock overhead. Along the way, a post-glacial fen marks where ancient meltwater pools slowly silted up into living wetland.

Schwyzer Höhenweg - Etappe 5
The route circles behind the Mythen massif, where a backward glance reveals the Lauerzersee and the Grosser Mythen — which, seen from the Furggelenstock, bears a striking resemblance to the Matterhorn. The trail ends in Einsiedeln, a town defined by its towering monastery church and well-preserved historic centre.
