Three mountain lake pearls in the Murg Valley (Upper Murgsee / Middle Murgsee / Lower Murgsee) in Eastern Switzerland SG / GL
The three Murg lakes are nestled in a wild, romantic valley basin. The lower Murgsee is in the middle of a protected pine reserve, the scenery is reminiscent of the wilderness of Canada. Between the middle and upper Murgsee is the Murgsee mountain inn, which accommodates not only hikers but also fishermen. The Murgsee trout are known for their pink, salmon-like flesh.
The shortest, best and easiest way to Murgsee leads via Murg on Lake Walen, on the Zurich - Chur route, either by car or the Murgtal bus (register for bus trips with Taxi Walensee, Tel. 079 735 30 00) to the Mornen car park (P2) at around 1200 m above sea level. The route via Murg is well signposted. From Mornen, a natural gravel path approx. 1.5 m wide leads directly to the Murgsee mountain restaurant at 1825 m above sea level. The hike takes around 1.5 to 2 hours.
The Murgsee - Mürtschen area circular hike is particularly recommended, with the starting point being the Merlen car park (P1) in the Murgtal. The hiking trails are well marked and are also suitable for hikers with little experience.
