In 1570, a ship sank near Walenstadt. Only 14 of the 60 guests survived the accident. Fridolin Heer then built the Heerweg, which starts at the post office in Weesen.

Details

Description

The trail starts at the post office in Weesen and leads to the other side of the Linth Canal. From there you walk along Lake Walen to Camping Gäsi. From there you continue to the flood monument. Before you walk through the former railway tunnel, follow the concrete stairs up to the original Heerweg. This varied and wild section of the trail leads along the towering rock faces to the Filzbach Gorge and on to the former Walensee service station. From there, it goes up a few more meters in altitude so that the hamlet of Tiefenwinkel can be bypassed. Along Lake Walen, it is a leisurely walk back to Mühlehorn train station.

Geheimtipp

Beautiful views down to Lake Walen never cease to amaze. On the other side of the lake, the rock walls rise almost vertically.

Walk on to Murg and combine the trip to Lake Walen with a boat trip to Quinten/Au.
