Sunset over Lake Walen

Above Lake Walen, on a sunny terrace, lies the village of Amden, and in a perfect location with a great view is the cosy Naturfreundehaus Tscherwald. From there, on a snowy April (2009), I enjoyed the sunset over Lake Walen and the Glarus Alps, dominated by the Mürtschenstock. Right by the house, paths begin for hiking, mountain biking, or in winter, skiing or snowshoeing tours up to the Gulmen, the Churfirsten, or across to Toggenburg.
