De belevenis
In the heart of the Rätikon lies a beautiful nature park, a paradise full of rugged peaks, alpine meadows and crystal-clear streams. The area is known for its impressive steep limestone mountains, where alpine rock climbers can indulge themselves.
The route lies on the border of Switzerland and Austria, and in four days you walk right around the Sulzfluh. This trek begins and ends at a beautiful swimming lake. You cross the border twice and each time end up in different landscapes.
The trek starts from the picturesque village of Küblis in Switzerland or from Sankt Gallenkirch in Austria. Both are a gateway to adventures in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, and attract adventurers and those seeking quiet all year round.

Mandala Travel
Organiseert al 15 jaar belevenissen
Hanneke van Dal and Leopold Roessingh build small-scale, tailor-made mountain journeys — “slow down, wonder, connect”. For more than fifteen years they have organised trips in the Alps, Himalaya and Atlas, and they still sell every trip as a private departure shaped around the group rather than a fixed schedule. Leopold, who leads the leadership journeys, is co-owner of the climbing organisation Climbing Network; Hanneke develops the leadership programmes with outside facilitators.
