Etappe 1: Filzbach – Murgsee, 73.01 Sardona-Welterbe-Weg

The starting point of the first stage is Habergschwänd. From here you have an impressive view of the imposing Churfirsten – a natural monument of national importance. From Habergschwänd to the junction at AlpHummel you will find information boards on geological phenomena in the World Heritage SiteSardona on a partly newly created hiking trail. Up to the Mürtschenfurggel, the stage leads up to the so-called Helllochdoline, a large depression created by the collapse of an underground cavity. Past the Spaneggsee, we continue up to Mürtschenalp, where various ores were mined in the 1850s. The background here is blood-red due to red clay slate from the Verrucano group. By the way, the fish-rich Murg lakes are a Mecca for fishermen (patents can be purchased locally).
