Description
From Murg on Lake Walen, you can reach the starting point at the Mornen parking lot by car or cab. Via Alp Guflen you reach the forest reserve with its ancient Swiss stone pine population, where no wood is used. Now you can already catch a glimpse of the waterfall cascading down to the lower Murgsee. You soon reach the middle and upper Murgsee lakes with the Murgsee hut, which owes its origins to former ore mining. The Murgsee lakes are framed by a ring of mountains. The Mürtschenstock with its three peaks Stock, Fulen and Ruchen rises imposingly to the left. The return journey follows the same route, but the view out of the valley allows hikers to discover new facets of the original Murg Valley time and again.
Hidden Gem
The sun terrace of the Berggasthaus Murgsee is the perfect place to enjoy a break from hiking with food and drink.
Safety Note
In spring, the hiking trail between the middle and lower Murgsee (Peterjosen-Gfäsch) can still be covered in snow. As the terrain next to the hiking trail is steep, caution is advised here in appropriate conditions.
Equipment
Sturdy footwear is an advantage for this hike, as the path can be wet and slippery in some places, especially after rainfall and when the snow is melting.
