Hint

Intro

The Schwendi Lakes are situated above Unterwasser in the Upper Toggenburg region.

Lake Schwendi at a glance

They are situated in a nationally important flat moorland area and are defined by scenic beauty. When the Schwendi Glacier began to recede about 14,000 years ago, it carved out a basin where these pristine lakes were dammed up.

In the subsequent millennia, the lake shores became silt deposits and created rich moorlands, which are in full bloom between May and September. Discover more about the history of this landscape, its fauna, flora and forests during a leisurely stroll along this nature trail.

Location:
Easy hike from the Iltios Mountain Station in Unterwasser or the Oberdorf Mountain Station in Wildhaus.

Guided tours:
On various themes such as Water, Botany and and Natural History, as per request.
