Details

Description

Quinten and the hamlet of Au lie on a peninsula on Lake Walen. Quinten is one of the few car-free places in Switzerland. The mild climate allows figs, lemons, chestnuts, and good wine to ripen.


From Murg West, even in winter, several boats daily run to Au and Quinten. We start the trip with a boat trip from Murg West to Au. After the boat trip, we cross the delta of the Aubach and walk along a wide, beautifully laid-out path along the lake to Quinten.

Hidden Gem

Please note the winter schedule of the Walensee ship.

Equipment

The route is easily doable in light trekking shoes.

Directions

We follow the hiking trail from Au along the shore westward. After about 15 minutes we reach the Quinten dock.
