Schönenbodensee swimming area

Highlight • Lake

Schönenbodensee, Wildhaus
The Schönenbodensee is located to the east of the village of Wildhaus in the municipality of Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann in a hollow in a protected low moor area at the southern foot of the Gulmen. Like the Schwendisee on the opposite side of the village, the lake was formed around 14,000 years ago after a glacier melted. In the following millennia, the moors gradually developed as a result of the silting up of the lake shores.
On the one hand, the lake is fed by a small stream that flows into the lake on the east side, on the other hand, mostly underground meltwater and rainwater penetrate through the limestone layers of the Gulmen into the lake. As a result, the moor water is constantly refreshed.
The small stream Simmi leaves the Schönenbodensee in the west, turns east and flows into the Werdenberger Binnenkanal east of Gams.
You can swim in the Schönenbodensee: since 1930 there has been a supervised bathing establishment with a jetty, catering facilities and pedalo rental. The production costs were 50,000 francs.

Wildhaus Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

On the Toggenburg side a relatively long ascent, which climbs almost permanently even in the village of Wildhaus. This is followed by a scenic descent into the Rhine valley. From the Rhine valley, the alternative route via Grabs is an option.

Engi Meadow Trail

Highlight • Trail

Be careful when driving through. If the cattle are in the pasture, there is a barrier that you can carefully drive through without getting off.

Ölberg Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

It's May and there's still a lot of snow on the high trail. Large sections couldn't be covered on foot. Otherwise, the view over the Rhine Valley is super beautiful. Lots of hiking trails invite you to take a detour to the left and right. Highly recommended, whether you're looking for easy biking on forest roads or more strenuous hiking trails.

May 21, 2023,Komoot #900: mit 🐞 Maienberg Gamperfin Oelberg Wildhaus Gamserberg

900th activity with Komoot: Nice Sunday ride with almost perfect weather. With a somewhat unusual descent from the Gamserberg 😊. Not too cold, not too wet and not too hot. Finally.....

April 26, 2026,eMTB zum ersten Mal: wow! 🤩

@Tom lent me his new eMTB today so that I, a bio-biker, could experience what such a machine can do nowadays. I am completely enthusiastic: the electric drive does not take away the effort, but rather amplifies its effect. More altitude meters are possible at higher speeds and with greater dynamics than with a bio-bike. Ergonomics and control are impeccable. …

Saturday tour something different. Wonderful, the ascent to the Obetweid should not be underestimated. We got the most out of the battery throughout the tour.

Shortly before the Obedweid it was extremely steep 🥴 over to the Alp Loch not everything was mobile for me. Quite wet from the Chuaweid over to Wildhaus. The view was great 👍🏼 The battery was used up to the last drop
