E-Bike Chapfensee, from Walenstadt

The route begins with a gentle warm-up from Walenstadt to Flums. Once in Flums, a longer ascent follows. The path passes lush meadows and rustling fir trees. After a short break, it continues towards Kohlschlag. Over footpaths and meadows, you then reach the Chapfensee.

The Chapfensee invites you to linger with its cozy spots. Besides barbecue areas, there are also numerous benches for resting. Nothing stands in the way of the perfect lunch break. Well strengthened and rested, the descent to Mels follows. On natural paths and paved roads, you can test your skills again. Back in the valley, it then goes leisurely along the Seez back to Walenstadt.

The Sennäbeizli in Kohlschlag is managed and offers excellent regional dishes.
