Pracavalls Pond, Pfäfers Repair and Improvement of the Surrounding Area of Pracavalls Pond The pond has a capacity of approximately 3,200 m³ and is up to 4.50 m deep. The stability of the dam poses certain risks due to vegetation growth, seepage, etc. A GG 200 diversion line (built in 1910) leads from the pond toward the clinic. This line feeds hydrant No. 17. Upstream of the pond is a concrete basin including a sand trap, which formerly served as a firewater reservoir for the psychiatric clinic. The concrete basin will be dismantled and replaced in the same location with a natural channel as an inlet to the pond. The pond will be partially filled, the waterside slopes flattened, and then resealed. The existing bottom outlet and the GG 200 diversion line will be closed or dismantled. The maximum water depth in the newly designed pond is 1.20 m. This will also increase safety for users of the nearby "Schweizerfamilie Feuerstelle" (Swiss Family Fireplace). Hydrant No. 17, which previously fed water from the pond, will be relocated and connected to the Pfäfers water supply network.

The first lake on the 5-lake hike is not even signposted from the Pizolhütte, but it is worth a visit.

Wangser See, Pizol First lake on the famous 5-lake hike The Wangser See is the first lake on the famous 5-lake hike and can also be hiked from Laufböden, where it forms part of the 2-lake hike, which is particularly popular with families, together with the lower Vilterser Seeli. The Wangser See is beautifully nestled in a plateau, which always offers hikers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, both near and far. The Wangser See is also popular with fishermen; licenses are available at the valley stations of the Pizol cable cars.

The Valaisbach flows down the valley from the Wangsersee. On the shores of the lake you have a magnificent view of the mountains in the Pizol area. The Wangsersee is also the start or end point of the five-lake hike, which also passes the Wildsee, the Schottensee, the Schwarzsee and the Baschalvasee.

Huge dam with high dam wall

The Wangsersee is one of the many crystal-clear and impressive mountain lakes in the Pizol. It is located not far from the Pizolhütte mountain restaurant, where you can enjoy excellent food.

Away from the busy road, nice view of the reservoir. As there is some coarse gravel, good tires are required (so not suitable for racing bikes).

Gigerwaldsee, Calfeisental The Gigerwaldsee is located in the Calfeisental and lies above Vättis in the municipality of Pfäfers in the canton of St. Gallen. The elongated Gigerwald reservoir, which is enclosed between rock walls, is located at an altitude of 1335 meters above sea level, is around three kilometers long and 135 meters deep at its deepest point. The lake is fed by the Tamina, the Tellerbach, the Hochbach and other smaller mountain streams. The Tamina flows out of the Gigerwaldsee. The Gigerwaldsee is the largest lake located exclusively in the canton of St. Gallen. At the very back, at the western end of the lake, is the old Walser settlement of St. Martin. A partially tunneled road leads to the hamlet on the southern shore of the Gigerwaldsee. In the summer months there is an inn in St. Martin that offers food, drink and accommodation.
