Route Description

The next section mainly passes through protected moorland, a marshy natural landscape covered with mountain pines. Hikers are treated to splendid views of the Toggenburg region and the Alpstein mountains, as well as the Glarus Alps and the turquoise-blue Walensee lake. The high-Alpine path ends in in Arvenbüel.
