Lake Walen

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

In Romansh, the lake is called Lag/Lac Rivaun. Accordingly, it was first documented in 843 as lacu riuano.

The German name means "Lake of the Welsch" (cf. Walchensee in Bavaria), because in the early Middle Ages, Lake Walen formed the language border between the Alemanni, who settled in the west, and the Romansh, the Welsch, in the east.

Betlis Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Picturesquely located chapel with beautiful interior design. Originally built around 1300 on the lake shore, it was washed away around 1773 and only rebuilt at its current location in 1889 and restored in 2002. The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

Seerenbach Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

In front of the falls is a viewpoint. But it's worth walking up. The path to get there is a bit muddy and the steps are high, but at the top you get much closer and can experience the falls better.

Betlis Beach on Lake Walen

Highlight • Beach

A beautiful bathing area with a lawn and large trees that provide pleasant shade. The water of the Walensee is just incredibly clear and blue. The perfect place for warm summer days.

Tunnel with a View of Lake Walen (Walensee)

Highlight • Structure

It should be noted that the way from Weesen towards Beetlis is at risk of falling rocks. A little caution is helpful at best. (see impacts in the asphalt ...)

View of Lake Walen (Walensee) from the tunnel

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tunnel is cool and a bit wet, as water is dripping from the ceiling. It's possible to go without a flashlight; if you feel more comfortable, pack one. The view from the peepholes is fantastic.

Finally sunshine after the rainy days. A wonderful path. With a view of Lake Walen and the surrounding mountains. The way there leads along the lower Betliser Straße with a view of the ruins and the way back along the upper Betliser Straße past beautiful courtyards and gardens. There are many benches where you can take a break.

Relaxing Sunday walk after yesterday's mountain tour along Lake Walen to the Seerenbach Falls.

There is a lot going on there on weekends and parking spaces are rare - if you are looking for peace and quiet, please choose another day 😉❣

On today's departure day, there was only a walk to the Seerenbach Falls. The three-tiered, 585-meter-high waterfall is currently just a trickle. The hike was still worth it.
