Walenstadt

Set between Walensee and the foothills of the Churfirsten, Walenstadt is a town whose character is shaped by the close meeting of lake water and steep limestone slopes. It occupies the lake’s eastern end in the canton of St. Gallen, where rail and road routes follow the narrow corridor between the water and the mountains. The serrated Churfirsten range dominates the northern shore, while boat services connect Walenstadt with settlements around Walensee, including car-free Quinten. Above the town, Walenstadtberg is home to Paxmal, a monument created by Swiss artist Karl Bickel.
