Description

West of the starting point Flums, the Gräpplang castle ruin towers on a hill. The route passes the ruin and follows a little-used side road via the hamlet of Fäsch to Bergheim. Then you follow the mountain road to Tannenheim before finally turning left to Cafrida. The well-known ski and hiking area Flumserberg has now been reached.
At Cafrida, follow the natural path, which later joins the mountain track to Prodalp. The high plateau Prodalp with the beautiful raised bog offers a magnificent view of the Sarganserland and the Churfirsten. The mountain restaurant has a large sun terrace and is the ideal opportunity for a break before continuing on the forest road to Panüöl.
In Panüöl, an impressive mountain panorama opens up and the continuation to Alp Fursch is a real pleasure. The subsequent downhill through the Furschwald is particularly demanding in wet conditions. Then continue along the Schilsbach, which is crossed at Bildbrugg. A flowing forest trail leads to Portels and shortly afterwards you reach Flums again.

Hidden Gem
