Description

The tour begins with a leisurely route from Walenstadt railroad station to Flums. There, the ascent to the historic castle ruins of Gräpplang awaits. After a short break to enjoy the view, the route continues. The trail leads past the Muttenhöhe to Flumserberg Bergheim. Once you arrive, the route descends the Grossberg at a rapid pace.
