Description

Starting at the "Weesen, See" post bus stop, where there are many public parking spaces, the hike follows the main road to the hamlet Fli. From there, 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, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view. After the Seerenbach waterfalls, there is an ascent of about 200 meters into the Seerenwald forest. The first part can be covered on a very beautiful and wide path. Then the somewhat steeper and rockier path, secured with holding ropes, leads downhill to the hamlet Quinten, one of the few remaining car-free places in Switzerland. The mild climate allows figs, lemons, kiwi, and an excellent wine to mature. Return to Weesen or other stations on the Walensee by boat.

Hidden Gem

Visit the "Geschenklädeli" in Quinten, right next to the church. There you can get local specialties.

Safety Note

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

Equipment

Good hiking shoes are absolutely necessary.
