Romantic landscape

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path leads along easy alpine pastures, over flowering meadows and between romantic-looking fir trees. The views of the Alpstein, the Churfirsten and the Toggenburg are beautiful and the whole area looks really kitschy and romantic.

August 23, 2022,Sellamatt - Breitenalp Sagenweg

Hike on the Legend Trail between Sellamatt and Breitenalp. Magnificent views of the Churfirsten and the Alpstein. Self-service kiosk in Hinter Lücheren very pleasant after the climb.

August 23, 2022,🇨🇭 Bergstation Sellamatt - Sagenweg bis Breitenalp

Hike on the Sagenweg to Breitenalp from the Sellamatt mountain station with a few small wrong turns. Unfortunately there is no restaurant/hut on the way. A purchase from Hinterlücheren therefore makes sense. The path always offers magnificent views of the Churfirsten and also of the Alpstein.
