Reutegg Viewing Platform: View of Walensee, Seerenbach Falls, and Churfirsten

Highlight • Viewpoint

Seerenbach Falls and Rin Spring
A natural spectacle near Betlis. With a drop of almost 600 m, the Seerenbach Falls are one of the highest waterfalls in Europe. At the same time, the middle waterfall, with a drop of 305 m, is considered one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Switzerland. Immediately below the impact zone of the Seerenbach cascade, the Rin Spring emerges from the mountain and cascades over a 45 m high cliff into the Seerenbach River. The Rin Spring is one of the largest underground river systems in Europe. The water from the Rin Spring originates in the Toggenburg region and flows through the many kilometers-long cave system of the Churfirsten Mountains in just a few hours. During snowmelt and after heavy rainfall, up to 40,000 liters of water per second rush into the Seerenbach Gorge; during periods of low rainfall, the Rin Spring can even dry up.

Talalpsee

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful, natural mountain lake with a path all around. There are a number of spots for barbecuing and possible entry points for swimming in the cool water. And you can make a little detour to half-caves, one of which is easily accessible!

Habergschwänd–Charen Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful hiking trail from the mountain station Habergschwänd direction Talalpsee. Leads over alpine meadows and forest and is good to commit. For the bike rather unsuitable. Nice view over Amden.

Another great place for a snack and to recover after the long e-bike ride, before tackling the descent or another climb.

Very nice route with many viewpoints. In summer, note that the climb from about KM 3 is tough and in full sun.
