Author’s recommendation
The running route runs mostly through forest and alongside water. It is therefore a "hidden gem" for runs in the warmest seasons.
Particular attention and care is required on the sections on the Jägerweg above Schelmenloch, especially when wet.
Tips and suggestions
At the mountain station of the Reigoldswil-Wasserfallen cable car, there is an attractive range of leisure activities for children, teenagers, and their families: adventure playground, climbing garden with variations, picnic areas, scooter downhill ride, and more. The gastronomic offerings in the various mountain restaurants are also recommended.
We kindly ask you to use the signposted paths and trails throughout the trail running route and to respect the flora and fauna!
Roadbook
The running route starts at the valley station of the Reigoldswil - Wasserfallen cable car (LRW) and initially leads back to Reigoldswil until the first junction after the start (follow the hiking signposts Lauwil/Aengiberg/Passwang, also marked as a bike path: Dornach/Passwang). The route runs along the stream bed to the junction Aengiberg/Passwang (turn left, uphill: take this route and leave the bike route Chrisiroute 111). After the ascent, the trail leads gently downhill over the mountain meadow to the "scooter route" (valley station LRW - mountain station LRW). On the "scooter route," the trail continues to the next junction (turn right uphill, follow the signposted Jägerweg ("Jägerwägli")). On the steep ascent via the "Jägerwägli," past Schelmenloch and the waterfall, the runner reaches a wider path. The signposts at this junction have no destinations but show only the hiking symbol in both directions. Here, take the "left downhill" direction! On this path, the next junction marked only with the hiking symbol and no destination is quickly visible on the right side (running direction) immediately at the stream. Turn right uphill towards the mountain station LRW there. After the short ascent, the mountain station LRW is reached. The return route to the valley station initially follows the "scooter route" (significant landmarks on the way: after the nature reserve pond, flat course, kilometer sign 4.0: stay on the "scooter path," do not choose the hiking path left downhill, short tunnel, long curve left, stay on the "scooter route" (do not follow the first sign left; valley station, steep descent) until the signpost at Schelmenloch location. There take the Jägerweg, turn right downhill, until the junction with the "scooter route." This leads directly to the destination, valley station LRW.
