Espel Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

Visitors can explore the Espel conservation area on a circular route. The remaining areas are deliberately reserved for nature and may not be entered.
In addition to several benches, a wooden observation platform at the southern entrance to the area provides a deeper insight into the area. The water dwellers can be observed from the step-like sandstone footbridge at the former tailings pond in the north.
In order to provide visitors to the Espel conservation area with further information about flora and fauna, various themed boards have been installed along the circular route. Interested visitors can use the QR code shown on it to call up ecological and nature conservation content about the area.

Lake Gübsensee

Highlight • Lake

Only about 200 meters wide, but over a kilometer long: these are the dimensions of the Gübsensee. The reservoir serves as a place of relaxation for the people of St. Gallen.

From the cycle path you have a great view of the Sitter Viaduct. At 99 meters, the viaduct is the highest railway bridge in Switzerland. Further downstream you can cross the Sitter on the other railway bridge, the Sitter Bridge. It has a cycle and pedestrian path.
