Ebnat-Kappel

Ebnat-Kappel is an idyllically situated municipality in Toggenburg. The highest point is the Speer mountain at 1950 m above sea level, the highest Nagelfluh mountain in Europe. The Thurweg, a 60 km long hiking trail, runs through the Ebnat-Kappel area. The Senses Park is just a 15-minute walk from the train station. Here you can experience and playfully test your senses at eleven stations. Via the Eichtobel along the Eichbach stream, you reach the Egg vantage point with a beautiful view of the Toggenburg mountains. The Tanzboden ski area rises up to the south. In the village itself, a former church is used as a theater.
