Description
The last stage starts in Bazenheid and leads us to Fetzwald. After crossing, we hike towards Wurenholz. In Wilen, we follow part of the railway embankment and finally reach Wil, the abbey town, first mentioned as an Alemannic settlement in 754. The counts of Toggenburg granted city and market rights, and in 1226 Wil was donated to the St. Gallen monastery and served as the residence town of the prince-abbots. A detour into the picturesque old town is worthwhile.
