Riviera Walensee Walenstadt - Quinten

From Walenstadt train station in the direction of Hotel Seehof, a tarred road leads along the right bank of the lake. After the playground, an ascending gravel path begins on the right-hand side through the forest to Garadur (Walenstadtberg). This route can also be taken by post bus from Walenstadt to the "Alte Post" station. This shortens the hike by about 1 hour 15 minutes. The single-track hiking trail continues through the forest in a zigzag course back to the lake. Once this is reached, a beautiful hike follows along the lake to the car-free hamlet of Quinten. It has an almost Mediterranean climate, which allows exotic fruits such as kiwis and figs to thrive. From there you take a leisurely boat trip to the other side of the lake to Murg and then take the train back to Walenstadt.
