Tscherlach trail 452

The outdoor fitness trails in the Heidiland holiday region comprise more than 30 uniformly signposted running paths from a total of 10 stations and thus form one of the largest open-air fitness parks in the Alpine region. The Tscherlach Trail is one of four running trails around the Walenstadt station.

The starting point for this 7.4 km long trail is the info point of the station Walenstadt near the Schifflände (425 m above sea level.M). From here, the trail leads into the middle of the historic town of Walenstadt, past the Catholic church to the village exit (473). A few meters, the trail now runs along the Widenbach before turning left. The trail continues through the middle of the vines and over meadows to the village of Tscherlach (451). Above the village begins a short but steep ascent on a gravel road to the edge of the forest near Valarsch (533). From now on, it only goes straight ahead or downhill to Berschis (444): First on a well-developed hiking trail, above the village then on a tarred road. On the whole descent you have a wonderful view over the cultural landscape around Walenstadt and the Flumserberge. As soon as you have crossed the Tscherlerbach in Berschis, the trail turns right and follows the stream to the main road to cross the stream again. Always with the imposing Churfirsten in mind, it goes on a paved side road back to Tscherlach and finally to Walenstadt at the starting point.
