With power over the Morgartenberg
As an industrious rodent, wood is my passion and wood was needed a lot in the construction of the Krafthweg Rothenthurm. We built exciting and invigorating posts on the circular path over the Morgartenberg. After the strenuous work on the Krafthweg, I was able to relax on the Morgartenberg with its magnificent panorama over the Aegeri valley and Lake Aegeri and recharge my batteries for new tasks.
You can find the tour to the summit here.
