On the road with a great view in the Illgau region.
Past the historic Sigristenhaus inn, turn left at the wayside cross in the village over the Bettbach stream uphill towards Oberberg. You hike across green meadows to the Wart junction, from where you follow the hiking trail to the left in the shade of the forest towards the Muotathaler Bänkli to the Fallenflue. Enjoy the rewarding view of the Stoos and over the Muota valley. Now follow the forest path further to the 2nd viewpoint, the Fallenflue Chänzeli. The Schwyz valley basin lies at your feet here. Through the Fallenflue forest you come to the Restaurant St. Karl. If you are hungry or thirsty, take refreshments at the Hildegardhotel. Now follow the mountain road towards Illgau to Unter Zimmerstalden. Now leave the road and take the hiking trail to the left via Ober Hasen to Oberberg. In the cosy and family-friendly Berggasthaus Oberberg you can have a bite to eat and enjoy the great view. You will soon be back at the mountain station of the Illgau - St. Karl cable car. The cable car takes you comfortably and pleasantly back to the starting point in the village of Illgau, where you can admire the Muotatal mountains and the Stoos Alps.
