    Sehr schöne Rundwanderung. Ausser auf der Fritzeflue und dem Ahorn ist man meistens allein unterwegs. Die Aussicht vom Ahorn ist herrlich. Der vorgeschlagene Rückweg vom Ahorn führt teilweise an der Strasse entlang. Wir haben eine alternative Route gewählt: Vor dem Restaurant Ahorn biegt ein Wanderweg ab und führt über Wiesen durch Mittelahorn, Unterahorn, Mastweid bis Unterschluck. Dort links abbiegen und über Oberschluck führt der Weg wieder zurück auf den ursprünglichen Wanderweg. Sehr empfehlenswert.
