Selected alternatives for you

    Due to forestry work, the Krafthweg is currently being diverted via Finsterwald instead of Morgartenberg until at least the end of November 2025. The route is appropriately signposted. The detour extends the Krafthweg by about 15 minutes


    Rothenthurm has Krafth - a power-rich adventure route with wonderful panoramic views.

    Away from the crowds, a strengthening adventure route leads through the forests and over the meadows of Rothenthurm. Various stations make the Rothenthurm Krafthweg an entertaining challenge for young and old.

    The approximately 3-hour Krafthweg starts at the train station and soon leads uphill towards Chli Morgarten. In Gärtenboden there is already a beautiful fire pit with a covered seating area. Once you have made the ascent to Morgartenberg, enjoy the unique view and a leisurely descent.

    Stations invite you to strengthen yourself 

    Along the adventure route you will find various stations that invite you to try out, compete and strengthen yourself. Challenge yourself on a fitness stairway with bell toll, hop over the bear steps, or balance on the slackline.

    Krafth package for on the go

    The right provisions make the Krafthweg an unforgettable experience. Enjoy our specially compiled Krafth package from Kronenmetzg as a picnic on the way.
