Beschreibung
From Partnun you walk over green meadows up under the brightly lit limestone walls of the Sulzfluh. Over some rock steps secured with wire ropes, you reach the barren, scree-filled Gemschtobel. Some exposed places require surefootedness. Keeping the distinctive summit cross firmly in sight you climb steeply up to the ridge. The detour to the summit of Sulzfluh (2817 m) rewards you in good visibility with a spectacular panorama to the Valais Alps and Lake Constance. Over the Karrenfeld, a vast limestone landscape of slabs and pointed ridges, you hike along the border to Austria in the direction of Tilisunahütte. Further on the alpine section of the path - good orientation is a prerequisite, as stone cairns and only a few markings indicate the way. Before the ascent to point 2446, turn east through a hollow. Back on Swiss ground you soon reach the first caves. The Abgrundhöli is reserved for cavers as it drops immediately down. But the Seehöli and Chilchhöli can be explored a little way at your own risk (don't forget your headlamp!). Past the caves the route leads steeply zigzagging down to the Tritt (2043 m). From here it goes on the mountain hiking path (white-red) past the Partnunersee and back to Partnun.
Variant: For more rock contact, replace the ascent through Gemschtobel with the Sulzfluh via ferrata.

Sicherheitshinweis
The path is classified on the section between the Karrenfeld and the caves as T4 (alpine hiking) - there are few trail markings, good orientation is a prerequisite (if marked: white-blue-white, according to SAC hiking scale). The other trail sections are classified as challenging mountain hiking paths (T3-T3+, marked: red-white).
Path / Terrain: Path not visible everywhere, route partly trail-less, rocky outcrops, partly exposed
Requirement: Familiarity with exposure, sturdy trekking shoes, good orientation skills.
To the caves - exploring the caves is at your own risk. It is recommended to explore with experienced persons (mountain guides, cavers). Even with little fresh snow the entrances are prone to snow slides.
Ausrüstung
Sturdy hiking boots, mountain hiking clothing suitable for the season. A current hiking map in your backpack is just as advisable as sun, rain and heat protection, water bottle and tour provisions. Hiking poles increase surefootedness and relieve the joints. For emergencies: first aid kit, emergency blanket, mobile phone. Additionally, compass and altimeter can be recommended.
