簡介

The ramble from Walenstadt to Quinten beneath the mighty Churfisten mountains commands magnificent views of the Walensee. As the route follows the southern slopes, it is also very popular during the colder seasons.

Description

The fjord-like Walensee and the steeply-rising Churfirsten form the centre point of this hike. The starting point is the historical «garrison town» of Walenstadt. Passing through the linden tree forest, you reach Garadur. Above you, the geologically interesting Churfirsten will grab your attention. As a result of a thrust fault, older layers of stone are located above newer ones here. After the descent through the woods, the path follows the edge of the lake to the car-free wine village of Quinten.

Quinten is also referred to as the Riviera of Eastern Switzerland. The area has an unusually mild climate due to its southern location and the fact that it is protected by almost-vertical mountains. It is not only grapes that grow here, but also figs, kiwifruits and other tropical fruits. Quinten can only be reached on foot or by boat. The boat trip to Murg with stunning views of the lake and mountains provides the perfect finish to the hike.
