================================

- Tip
- 7.86 km long
- Round trip
- Difficulty: easy
- Condition: very easy
- Hike

Gersau - Tunnel - Unterrängg - Kuorez - Furt - Forst - Gersau

The walk on the wonderful path through the forest and the views of the lake bring about a good mood. This circular route is also recommended for families.

From the boat station, we proceed over the upper village to the tunnel. It is almost a must to quickly take a break here and look over the village of Gersau with the majestic Kaiserstock mountain towering in the distance. Shortly thereafter we turn left. Here begins the nature trail which repeatedly leads us slightly up and down through shady mixed forest and meadow slopes. At Kuorez, not only do we get another fantastic view, but also the opportunity to stop at the namesake inn. Children can play on the small playground or pet calves there.

Up to this point, we have followed the Waldstättenweg. Shortly after Kuorez, however, we turn left towards Furt and follow the romantically wild hiking trail to the forest. On the way back to Gersau, we can take the well-deserved plunge into the water at the Cholplatz lakeside bath or just have a coffee. There is also entertainment for children there!

**Note:**
So that future generations or tomorrow’s hikers can enjoy the path, we ask you to take your rubbish with you again.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

I also like to do this route in the evening, aiming to enjoy some treats at Kuorez. In case it gets cozy and a bit late, we take a headlamp with us...
