Blick auf Rigi Kulm Mit ihrem »Stachel« ist die Silhouette von Rigi Kulm unverkennbar. © Mark ZahelPhoto: Mark Zahel, Rother Bergverlag
At the cantonal border between Schwyz and Zug, the broad, sprawling Rossberg is one of the first Pre-Alpine ridges above the Central Plateau. It promises a wonderful panoramic hike that can easily compare with the more famous Rigi. Almost at the highest point, the Wildspitz, there is even a guesthouse. However, the Rossberg became particularly well-known due to a natural disaster that occurred on September 2, 1806. At that time, a massive flank of potentially unstable molasse rock slipped and buried the village of Goldau in the valley, along with 457 people. The rupture edge at Gnipen and the debris path along the fall line are still impressively visible today.
From Sattel-Aegeri station, 776 m, into the district of Riedmatt and alternately over forest and meadow sections, ascending overall diagonally northwest. Across an extensive pasture slope, you finally reach the ridge height at Halsegg, 1320 m, where there is also a nice little inn. Now westward towards Hinter Gwandelen and with a double loop from the shady to the sunny side, where conglomerates frequently appear. Continue over the scenic Langmatt, then slightly down again and finally on a broad path to the mountain guesthouse, a few meters below the highest point at Wildspitz, 1579 m.A comfortable ridge path leads in 20 minutes to Gnipen, 1566 m, where we are directly above the slide slope of the Goldau landslide. At the cross at the west corner (P. 1532) you can choose: either directly down through the landslide area or continue along the ridge via P. 1383 and P. 1279 to Ochsenboden, then a short right detour and as described to P. 988 at Spitzibüel. Again, go a few meters to the

Mark Zahel
Mark Zahel hat als fleißiger Wanderer und Bergsteiger bisher mehr als 3000 Tage auf Alpentouren verbracht und schöpft aus dieser Passion seit über 20 Jahren eine intensive publizistische Tätigkeit. Die Liste seiner Buchveröffentlichungen umfasst inzwischen rund 80 Titel – in jüngster Zeit sind auch einige Wanderführer über norddeutsche Regionen hinzugekommen. Seine Kenntnisse reichen über weite Teile des Alpenbogens, besonders häufig aber ist er in dem breiten Streifen zwischen Bayern und Südtirol unterwegs. Zahel vergleicht seine Erkundungen gern mit einem Puzzlespiel, dem immer wieder neue Teile hinzugefügt werden, ohne dass es jemals »vollendet« werden könnte oder sollte. So bleibt die persönliche Entdeckungslust ungebrochen, während sich das »Gesamtbild« nach und nach immer detailreicher herausschärft.
