June 1, 2024,Wanderung zum Großen Mythen

A fascinating tour of the Mythen. You have to go there at least once in your life. An experience even in bad weather.

Secondly, I went alone...but you're never really alone on the way to the summit. Choosing a normal weekday doesn't help either. I wonder what's going on up there on a Sunday🤔🤨😅

Late again, and today it's actually too hot for the Gross Mythen, but I know what I'm letting myself in for. But apparently many don't... some are going without water, not recommended, even if there is a hut at the top.

It's exactly 47 hairpin bends until you reach the top of the Grosser Mythen.

At the top, you'll be treated to a view of the Glarus and Uri Alps, which invites you to pause for a moment.

Today, there was also a view of a beautiful sea of fog.

Good shoes are highly recommended. The path is well secured and easy to do, but should not be underestimated.
