Nestled in a wildly romantic mountain basin lie the three Murg lakes. Streams, lakes, waterfalls, and a protected Swiss stone pine reserve make this route an experience.
Details
Description
From Murg on Walensee, you reach the starting point Mornen parking lot by car or taxi on call. Via Alp Guflen, you reach the forest reserve with ancient Swiss stone pine, where all wood use is prohibited. You will soon catch a glimpse of the waterfall plunging down to the lower Murgsee. Shortly afterwards, you reach the Middle and Upper Murgsee with the Murgsee hut, which owes its origin to former ore mining. The Murg lakes are framed by a crown of mountains. On the left, the imposing Mürtschenstock rises with its three peaks Stock, Fulen, and Ruchen. The return is on the same path, but the view downstream repeatedly reveals new facets of the original Murgtal.
Hidden Gem
On the sun terrace of the Murgsee mountain guesthouse, you can enjoy your hiking break with food and drink doubly.
Safety Note
In spring, the hiking trail between the middle and lower Murgsee (Peterjosen-Gfäsch) can still be snow-covered. Since the terrain beside the path is steep, caution is advised under these conditions.
Equipment
For this hike, sturdy footwear is recommended, as parts of the path can be wet and slippery, especially after rain or during snowmelt.
