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.

View over vineyards towards Murg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the vineyards extends all the way to Murg, where the rows of vines stretch towards the calm waters of Lake Walen and create a classic Swiss landscape framed by mountain peaks. Following the trails through the vineyards, you will enjoy the peaceful paths that wind between the vines and offer stunning views of the lake and surrounding countryside.

Quinten

Highlight • Settlement

I would rather travel from Quinten to Weesen, as I feel the rocky descent to Quinten more difficult than the climb.

Quinten Vineyards on Lake Walensee

Highlight • Settlement

Quinten is perhaps the most beautiful village on Lake Walensee. There are no roads, so you can only access on foot or by boat, meaning that the area is a lakeside haven of peace. The views over the vineyards, lake and mountain landscapes are fantastic.

The Tscherûtiweg hike above Lake Walen offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. As you ascend, you’ll have spectacular views of the turquoise waters of Lake Walen, framed by the towering peaks of the Churfirsten mountain range. The trail passes through lush forests and grassy meadows, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.
