Alter Zügenweg

From Glaris the path leads right along a road uphill, which later becomes a forest road. It steadily rises gently and gradually becomes narrower. The middle section through the magnificent forest over Höheggen to the Steigwald offers a varied view of the surrounding mountains and down into the impressive Zügen Gorge. While the railway line can still occasionally be seen on the opposite slope, the cantonal road is no longer audible. After about 12 km along the old Zügenweg, which runs above the Zügen Gorge, you reach the idyllic Walser village Davos Wiesen. From there, the last section leads down to Wiesen Station. With the Rhaetian Railway, you quickly and comfortably return to Davos.

The five-minute detour to the Wiesner Viaduct, the second highest bridge in the network of the Rhaetian Railway, is worthwhile and offers another perspective of the Zügen Gorge.

From Davos Glaris, follow the signpost for "Station Monstein". From Station Monstein, follow the signpost for "Zügen Gorge" and then the destination "Wiesen Station".
