Mogelsberg: Baumwipfelpfad Neckertal
Tucked into the Neckar valley in the Toggenburg hills, Baumwipfelpfad Neckertal is a place whose character is shaped by the meeting of woodland and dairy farmland. The 500-metre treetop walkway in Mogelsberg passes through a mixed forest, bringing visitors close to mature trees rather than above an urban skyline. Opened in 2018, it has become a family-oriented excursion destination in the municipality of Neckertal. Scattered farmsteads, meadows and wooded ridges reflect the gently folded terrain of the canton of St Gallen, while the Neckar runs through the valley before joining the Thur.

Few settlements in the canton of St Gallen have a recent civic history as closely tied to municipal consolidation as Mogelsberg. Until 2009, it was an independent municipality; it now forms part of Neckertal in the Toggenburg region. The village sits amid the rolling, farmed uplands of the Necker valley, a landscape of scattered hamlets, woodland and traditional rural buildings. Toggenburg is known across eastern Switzerland for its distinctive alpine foothill culture and close-knit valley communities.

Built around the former Abbey of St Gall and the territories once linked to it, Sankt Gallen developed into a varied eastern Swiss canton. In southern Toggenburg, the upper Thur Valley is framed by pastureland and the rugged Alpstein and Churfirsten ranges, giving this part of the canton a distinctly alpine character. Farther north, the landscape opens towards the Lake Constance basin and the city of St. Gallen. Its Abbey District, including the celebrated library, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and recalls the region’s importance as a medieval centre of learning.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
