You can also stay overnight at the Tanzboden, for example, if you're hiking the Toggenburg High Trail. Please note, however, that reservations cannot be made from Sunday to Monday or Monday to Tuesday, as Monday is a day of rest.

The Churfirsten, from all sides and perspectives, make a beautiful picture. And the lovely Eastern Swiss landscape is simply beautiful.

The path up to Tanzboden is hard-earned. Steep and long - but the view at the top is worth all the effort. The view from Tanzboden over Lake Zurich is breathtaking. From here you can see almost the entire Züri Escape route (the Schlorziflade in the friendly mountain restaurant is highly recommended! 🥧).

Along the Thur route you always have a great view of the Churfirsten. From here you can see it particularly well on clear days. Depending on how you count them, there are six to 13 mountain peaks. How many do you count?

The Thurweg is very beautiful and offers numerous spots directly on the Thur or slightly elevated with a view of the Thur. The upper section (running east-west) is strenuous on a bike, as there are many stairs (mostly downhill, a few uphill) and a constant up and down. The lower section of the Thurweg is easier.
