Weesen trail 492

The Outdoor Fitness Trails in the Heidiland holiday region comprise more than 30 uniformly signposted running routes from a total of 10 stations, making it one of the largest open-air fitness parks in the Alpine region. The Weesen Trail is one of three running trails around the Weesen station.

The starting point for this 4.5 km long trail is the info point of the Weesen station at the Schifflände (423 m above sea level). From here it goes up to the cantonal road, past the Hotel Schwert and through the middle of the picturesque old town. Partly through a residential area and industrial zone, the trail continues to the football and tennis court. On a wide footpath, the Weesen Trail now continues along the edge of the forest and past lush meadows to the 300 m shooting range near Rüti (428). The whole section offers a magnificent view of the Glarus mountains and the Linth plain. To get to the Linth Canal, you have to cross the side road that connects Weesen and Ziegelbrücke. On the idyllically laid out walk along the Linth, it goes back to the info point at the Schifflände Weesen.
