Ridge hike from Brunni to Einsiedeln


Details
Let's hike the fifth stage of the Schwyzer Höhenweg! We'll start in Brunni and go up through the Zwäckentobel to the Müsliegg. There we'll join the Switzerland Mobility trail number 63 (see https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-63/stage-5). Soon we'll reach the Furggelenstock, with 1'656 m above sea level the highest point of the hike. We'll continue northbound over Buziflue, Chopf, Amselspitz and Chli Amslen to Einsiedeln. This hike does not include the Grosser Mythen.
As for now, rain is predicted for the evening (at around 8 pm). This won't affect us. If the weather forecast changes to the worse, I might shorten or cancel the hike.
