Meiggelenstock

The hike starts in Wattingen near Wassen. Through dense and shady forest with clearings full of raspberries, Rüti is reached. After the forest border, the route leads over Farneren to Rorgrund. The valley widens and the steep ascent takes hikers to the path coming from Bandlückli and Salbithütte SAC. The last meters to the summit are steep, but the view is overwhelming. From Gemsstock over Bristenstock, the view wanders to Kleine Windgälle in the northwest and Höreli in the north. After a short descent to the Rorplatten, the hiking trail passes over glacier-polished granite rocks at about 2200 m above sea level to the northern side of the bowl. Over a short steep section, Langsee is reached and even higher the Gross See. Together with the Chli See, these lakes form a mystical landscape in a barren and rocky area. From Gross See, hikers can descend to Rorgrund and directly down the left side of the valley to Wassen. The path is steep but quite walkable.
