First, the Mattstock chairlift takes the guests from Amden up to the Niederschlag mountain station located at 1290 m. After a coffee break (optional, of course), the hikers start out in western direction. A few minutes later a narrow, well-constructed trail leading to Oberfurggle branches off from the wide gravel path. The trail is bordered by colourful shrubs on both sides. Oberfurggle at 1498 m is the highest point of the tour. Right before the end, a steep section of the trail takes you to the top. Between the majestic Walenstein, an offshoot of Mt. Mattstock, and a tree-covered elevation, the path descends through the pleasantly shady forest down to Alp Hasebode.

About 400 m elevation below Oberfurggle, a forest path leads in the direction of Durschlegi, where a magnificent panorama opens up across Lake Walen, the Glarus Alps, the Linth Plain, and the village of Amden. The panoramic views from the ledge are phenomenal: Leistchamm, Mürtschenstock, Tödi and Glärnisch are the most prominent peaks you can see from here. Below Durschlegi, a 700 m rock wall drops off almost vertically to Lake Walen. A powerful landslide occurred here in 1974, which damaged the only access road to Amden. Because the landslide had been expected for years, the Swiss Army had previously constructed a small road to the Toggenburg Valley as an alternative. Yet, the village still had to be serviced by helicopter for a few days.

In addition to the views, Durschlegi offers another attraction. The meadows in this area are no longer used for agricultural purposes, but in the summer a multitude of butterflies are dancing amid the countless flowers, which even include orchids. From Durschlegi, it is a leisurely walk of about 30 minutes on a small road to get to the centre of Amden where the tour ends.
