Quinten

Highlight • Settlement

I would rather travel from Quinten to Weesen, as I feel the rocky descent to Quinten more difficult than the climb.

April 17, 2022,WALSA Weg, von Amden nach Quinten

Today the Amden - Quinten stage of the WALSA trail was on the agenda. You can travel to Amden by train and bus. From Quinten you can only continue by boat or on foot. The reverse route is also possible, but includes some steep ascents on the white-red-white marked hiking trail. Sure-footedness should be given. Here is the link schweizmobil.ch/de/wanderland/routen/etappe-01660.html. …

A hike on the Walensee.
I start in the village of Amden and hike to Quinten, which lies right on the lake.
The middle part of the hike is quite nice.
From Quinten, I take the boat across the Walensee to Murg.
Quinten is a wine village, where the temperatures are quite mild. ☀️🌡

We had originally planned to continue hiking to Walenstadtberg, but the …
