Thurweg
From the Gamplüt gondola station, the trail descends through flowering meadows and Toggenburg villages alongside the Säntisthur — a river whose source lies some 1,200 metres higher on Chalbersäntis — before plunging through the forested Chammerlitobel to reach the thundering Thur Falls. The route then passes through ravines and drops past the three Giessen Falls just before Nesslau.
