ジルナッハの湖・トップ20

Passing west of the beautiful Bettenauer Weiher (driving is prohibited all around).

Easily accessible on foot, the Wheier is unfortunately not very clean, but the paths in the Fahrenbach ravine and the small waterfalls are beautiful.

Beautiful pond for relaxing

There are four benches and a barbecue area

The Bettenauer Weiher lies in a depression between Wildberg and Uzwil, entirely within the municipality of Oberuzwil, in the Toggenburg region in the Swiss Alpine foothills. The pond's bottom consists of peat soil. The pond includes the smaller peat ponds to the east. The Bettenauer Weiher was originally a moor pond, the origin of which can ultimately be traced back to the formation of a depression between the Wildberg and Vogelsberg mountains during the Würm glaciation, when the entire Toggenburg region was covered by the Rhine glacier. The area around the Bettenauer Weiher is a fen of regional importance. It is part of an amphibian spawning area of national importance. For this reason, the pond has had an amphibian guide structure, a protected road underpass, since 1993. [Source: Wikipedia]

Idyllic reservoir, accessed from below via rather steep stairs, very beautiful hiking trail in the Farenbachtobel.

Idyllic pond near Tänikon Monastery. Several rest areas with benches.

Pack your base pants, it's worth making a stopover here...
