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.
