    From Glarus to Braunwald via Schwändi, Leuggelerberg, Brunnenberg, Orenplatten.

    From Glarus to Schwändi mostly on a wide forest path. From Schwändi to Leuggelen(berg) the path unfortunately runs on a paved road. From Leuggelerberg to Brunnenberg the path extends along an unpaved service road. From Brunnenberg the route leads on a singletrail / hiking path to Orenplatte (great view!). Shortly after Orenplatte, at the entrance to Braunwald, the remaining route consists of a kind of gravelled paved road.

    Author’s recommendation

    - If you want to save the route or the ascent from Glarus to Brunnenberg, you can also use the Brunnenbergbahn from Luchsingen.

    - Alternatively, you could go from Schwändi via Guppen, Oberblegi, Bösbächi to Braunwald.

    Safety information

    The part of the route just after Brunnenberg is initially very muddy.

    Tips and suggestions

    - There is a fountain in Schwändi

    - Mountain restaurant Leuggelen (Leuggelerberg) http://www.leuggelen.ch/

    - Sigi's little market hut or the kiosk right in front of Braunwald mountain station

    My time: 2:15 (pure running time)

    Roadbook

    - The hiking trail to Leuggelerberg from the signpost "Vorbach" via Rütenen is not really recognizable. You might consider running upwards instead of downwards (signpost Oberglegisee and then via Bodenberg to Wisswand).

    Public transport

    Return route: In Braunwald take the hh:25 funicular down and the hh:44 train back to Glarus. Or if your legs are still fit, make the way down under your own power.
