Quinten
Because of the mild climate it is also called the "Riviera Walensee". This is particularly felt in Quinten and can also be seen. Kiwis and figs grow there.

Details

Description

From the post bus stop "Weesen, See", where there are also many public parking spaces, the hike runs along the main road to the hamlet of Fli. From here, a small road - partly carved into the rock, just above the water level or through tunnels - leads towards Betlis. At the former Roman watchtower Strahlegg, a magnificent panoramic view can be enjoyed. After the Seerenbach waterfalls, there is an ascent of about 200 meters into the Seerenwald. The first part can be done on a very nice and wide path. After that, the somewhat steeper and stony path, which is secured with tethers, leads downhill to the hamlet of Quinten, one of the few car-free places in Switzerland. The mild climate allows figs, lemons, kiwi and an excellent wine to mature. You can then return to Weesen or other stations on Lake Walen by boat.

Geheimtipp

Visit the "Geschenklädeli" in Quinten right next to the church. Local specialities are served there.

Sicherheitshinweis

The path leads partly over slippery area with bare limestone rock.

Ausrüstung

Good hiking boots are absolutely necessary.
