Lighthouse at Walensee

Highlight • Structure

Almost kitschy, but the little tower still makes a nice impression

Lake Walen Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The path is very narrow and winding in places. It's difficult to make good progress on a road bike, especially on weekends when there are lots of people out and about. With oncoming traffic, it gets very narrow in some places.
Update August 2025: The section between Mühlehorn and Mollis has improved significantly over the last three years. Except for the topographically determined narrow sections, the width is now OK, and the surface is also quite good.

Steep Ramp by Lake Walen

Highlight • Climb

Ultra-steep piece :) You do not have to dismount here, the short mountain sprint is a sugar-sweet challenge.

Walensee Lakeside Path and Old Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A very beautiful cycle path along Lake Walen.
The old tunnel is impressive, and the forces of nature are clearly visible here; the fishing nets are filled with slippery debris and flotsam – a great route.
