Walenstadt - Weesen

The classic hike on Lake Walen: from Walenstadt via Quinten to Weesen. The approximately 8-hour hike starts at the train station in Walenstadt. The hike is particularly worthwhile in fall and spring. The two steepest climbs are right at the start. In the car-free fishing village of Quinten, a refreshment stop at a restaurant is recommended. The Mediterranean climate even allows figs to grow in summer. Fresh jams and fruit can be bought along the main roads. Refreshed, the hike continues up to the Seerenwald forest. A detour to the highest waterfall in Switzerland is definitely worthwhile. Once you arrive in Weesen, the boat or train will take you back to Walenstadt.

Arrival: with the Aare Linth, the S4 or the S17 to Walenstadt
