윌‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 천연기념물

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

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]

If you don't take a break here, it's your own fault... fantastic place.

A dream for every photographer... dragonflies, frogs, ....

As part of the maneuvers held throughout Switzerland, the German Emperor Wilhelm II also visited our region. He watched the maneuvers in Wil and Kirchberg. On September 5, 1912 he was in Wil and took the maneuver breakfast on the Hofberg, served by Wiler women in traditional costumes. All the preparations and then finally the visit have left many traces, right down to the "Kaiserlinden" that are still preserved in Kirchberg and Wil (although in Wil it is now a maple tree).

Girenmoos fen The Girenmoos has been a protected area since 1995, classified as a fen of national importance. An open moor pond, rare rough meadows and a diverse flora and fauna can be found in a small area. For the people of Flawil, it is a nearby recreation area - be it for hiking, observing animals and plants, or simply to enjoy. The gray herons in particular are a magnet. In the Girenmoos, animal species that are typical of the area but are becoming increasingly rare are specifically promoted. These include, for example, the common toad, the water frog or various dragonflies. A large part of the Girenmoos is owned by the Flawil Nature Conservation Reserves Foundation. However, a protected area is not static. It changes in appearance, plants grow and spread. With extensive voluntary work, the Flawil and Surroundings Nature Conservation Association bears an important responsibility for the care of the Girenmoos. The visitor management and information concept for Girenmoos created in 2009 represents an upgrade.

It's simply beautiful here: the large semi-cave, the small waterfall with a pool above it, a small barbecue area with a view of this enchanting backdrop ... I wouldn't have been surprised if Tarzan had swung himself up on a liana.

Beautiful interesting gorge with great hiking trails. Again and again barbecue areas on the whole tour. Also suitable for children. You can splash around in the Wissbach.
