3 village trail 473

The Outdoor Fitness Trails in the Heidiland vacation region comprise over 30 uniformly signposted running trails from a total of 10 stations, forming one of the largest outdoor fitness parks in the Alps. The 3-Dörfer-Trail is one of four running trails around Unterterzen station.

The starting point for this 7.3 km trail is the info point at Unterterzen station on the lake side of the underpass to Unterterzen station (425 m above sea level). From there, the paved beach path leads along the lake to Murg. The turquoise-blue Walensee and the imposing Churfirsten peaks are a constant companion on the right. Once in Murg, the trail continues on a footpath down to the lido and campsite. The next section leads up to the railroad station underpass and through the middle of the village. Now the steep ascent begins on a paved road to the hamlet of Rüti (521). With the lake and the mountains always in sight, the road continues less steeply through open terrain to below Quarten (584). The highest point of the trail is reached here. Below the church, the trail turns left onto the hiking trail for the descent to Unterterzen. For the last few meters back to the starting point, take the underpass under the cantonal road at the town hall in Unterterzen.
