Glarner Waldperlen / Stausee Garichti

The 'Glarus Forest Pearls' app takes you to the most beautiful and wildest forests in the canton of Glarus. The app shows how to get there and there are stories, games and information on site via GPS. With the app, every forest pearl becomes an experience for young and old. Like here around the Garichti reservoir in Mettmen

The Garichti Forest Reserve frames the deep blue Garichti reservoir. It is characterized by a mosaic of moors, ponds, gnarled groups of trees and shrub forest. Only a few tree species can grow under these humid conditions: mountain pines and green alders form the forest at the edges of the moors. Spruce trees grow on somewhat drier sites and occasionally the Swiss stone pine, which is rare in the canton of Glarus.

Experience the forest reserve

The forest reserve can be reached by taking the Kies-Mettmen cable car. From the mountain station, a circular trail leads around the Garichti reservoir and through the forest reserve in just over an hour. The trail is usually accessible between May and October.
