Description
Those who choose the path from north to south, i.e. from Ritzengrat down to Blauherd, always have the Matterhorn in view. The path leads through the "Meisterswang" area, in the northern part of the Unterrothorn (called Rothorn). Those who follow this mountain flank have a view like from a balcony.
The main attraction on this path is the Matterhorn: information about this world-famous mountain can be read on panels. Why is the Matterhorn called African? How did it form? What does the primeval sea Tethys have to do with it? Those interested in geological processes and the formation of the Matterhorn should walk this path at least once.
