May 17, 2025,Rundweg Murgsee ab Parkplatz Bachlaui

Circular route around the Murgseen lakes. If you arrive by car, you should buy your ticket for 12 CHF at the lower toll station. The ticket check will take place at the top of the car park 😅 The circular route is easy to walk, but spring has not quite arrived here yet, it will take a while.

July 26, 2024,Murgtal Runde

A well-traveled route. The first climb from the car park is steep and strenuous, but leads through a spectacularly wild forest landscape interspersed with large rocks and rushing waterfalls. Once you reach the Gsponbach floor, the many stone pines scattered across the landscape, the streams and the alpine flora characterize the route through the Mürtschental, which is overlooked by the …
