The municipality Walenstadt is located at the eastern end of the beautiful Walensee. The surrounding landscape is characterized by the rugged sloping Churfirsten.

In the center you will find traditional Swiss buildings, parts of the old city wall and a beautiful church. In the "Old Town Hall" is the local museum. At the lake shore there is a bathing beach and a harbor of the Walenseeschifffahrt. Walenstadt can also be reached by train.

Easily walkable gravel road through colorful alpine meadows. The view of the lake and the surrounding mountains cannot be topped. The path can also be walked in winter and is ideal for a winter hike.

Panoramic picnic area at Walensee

Highlight • Rest Area

This is a truly wonderful place. Down on the shore there is enough space to really make yourself comfortable on the stones right on the shore. A little further up, but still "right" on the shore, there are two barbecue areas with grills and benches and a public toilet around the corner.

Quinten Au

Highlight • Settlement

This is a beautiful spot with direct access to the shore. Just super beautiful! But there are also other places in the area where you can sit right on the shore and let your gaze wander over Lake Walen and the surrounding mountains.
