A pleasant circular route in Toggenburg with wonderful viewpoints.
The easy hike starts at Restaurant Weidhof above Oberhelfenschwil. From there, the path runs along the forest edge to a maple tree over 350 years old. With a diameter of over 5.5 meters, it is one of the largest in the region. A bench under the maple invites you to enjoy the view. Afterwards, it goes gently downhill towards Berlig, and on the road, the path leads into the village Oberhelfenschwil. Between the bakery and the retirement home, the hiking trail leads back up to the starting point at Weidhof.
