Details

Description

The landscape on Schrina-Hochrugg at the foot of the south side of the Churfirsten is impressive. For the most part, the alpine area is a cultural landscape. The area has been used, maintained and changed by humans for centuries. The transition to the natural area of the Alps is fluid. Experience this landscape on the Schrina Alpine and Culture Trail!

On two paths you will discover many exciting details about alpine farming, culture, fauna and flora as well as geology.

- The short, stroller-friendly trail leads from the PAX monument by artist Karl Bickel to Alp Schrina.
- The longer trail connects Schrina-Hochrugg via Schrina-Obersäss with Alp Tschingla. Those with a head for heights take the alpine route over the Sitzstein and turn the path into a beautiful circular hike Schrina-Hochrugg - Sitzstein - Tschingla - Obersäss - Schrina.

On these trails, you should have the brochure "Schrina Alpine and Cultural Trail" with you. This can be obtained at Alp Schrina, at the Papeterie Fries in Walenstadt and at the Heidland information point on the Flumserberg. You will find small boards with numbers along the way and the corresponding explanations in the brochure.

Geheimtipp

On the way, the Tschingla mountain restaurant beckons you to visit.
