Details

Description

On a promontory on Lake Walen lies Quinten and the hamlet of Au. Quinten is one of the few car-free places in Switzerland.  The mild climate allows figs, lemons, sweet chestnuts and a good wine to ripen.

From Murg West, a boat runs several times a day to Au and Quinten, even in winter. We start the excursion with a boat trip from Murg West to Au. After the boat trip, we cross the delta of the Aubach and walk along the lake on a wide, beautifully landscaped path to Quinten.  

Geheimtipp

Please note the Winter timetable of the Walensee ship.

Ausrüstung

The tour is well done in lightweight trekking shoes.

Directions

We follow the hiking trail from Au along the shore in a westerly direction. After about 15 minutes we reach the pier Quinten.
