Description

E-bike tour to Mornen (21km, 3h 15min, round trip)

The adventure journey starts directly at Murg train station. From there, the path leads into the idyllic Murg Valley. Let yourself be enchanted by the beautiful surroundings and discover the Murg Valley on two wheels. Soon the steady ascent to the Prato hydroelectric power plant begins. From there, the path winds through numerous curves. From Merlen, the path leads into a gravel road. The route continues through the middle of the green nature to the transport cable car on Alp Mornen. There we exchange the e-bike for hiking boots.

Hike to the Murg lakes (7.7 km, 2h 45 min, round trip)

We continue our journey along the Murgbach. Soon you will reach the first of the three picturesque Murg lakes. You pass the impressive Murgbach Falls before you arrive at the middle and upper Murgsee, as well as at the Murgseehütte. A perfect place for a relaxing rest to enjoy the surrounding nature and the panorama. The Murg lakes are framed in a wreath full of mountains. To the left, the Mürtschenstock rises imposingly with its three peaks Stock, Fulen and Ruchen. The way back is the same way, but the view out of the valley allows hikers to discover new facets of the original Murg Valley again and again.

E-bike to Murg

From Mornen, take the same route back to the Plätz power plant. From there, the trail leads over the Vorderschwendi to Rütiberg and finally back to the train station in Murg.

Geheimtipp

As a reward, you can cool off in the lake and enjoy an ice cream at the camping and lido in Murg after the tour.

Sicherheitshinweis
