Neuhaus-Siebnen

Today's moderate level day stage leads us over a distance of 14.4 km with a walking time of around 4.0 hours from Neuhaus to Siebnen. We start the hike at the Jakob Chapel and leave Neuhaus heading south along Jakobstrasse. We continue on the signposted paths until the motorway, which we cross after about 200 m. After approx. 2.0 km, we reach the highest point of the stage at Goldberg height at 521 m elevation. Then the path leads downhill through Lanzenmoos and we reach the idyllic village Schmerikon located on Obersee. On the lakeside path, we leave Schmerikon and follow the Linth bypass canal to the Grinau bridge, where we cross the Linth. We arrive at Tuggen after about 8.0 km and leave the settlement heading west. After crossing the motorway, we reach Siebnen. The path today takes us over both asphalt and natural trails.

Today we pass the following sights: Jakob Chapel in Neuhaus, St. Jost Church, Grinau Bridge, St. Erhard Parish Church, Loreto Chapel

In Neuhaus, the pilgrim path to Einsiedeln can be continued either via Rapperswil-Jona (Swabian route) or Siebnen (Rorschach branch).
