Village description: Quinten is car-free and enjoys a very special climate Situated on the northern shore of Lake Walen, Quinten can only be reached on foot or by boat. The village of around 50 inhabitants is also known as the "Ticino of Eastern Switzerland": its unique south-facing location in front of the protective steep faces of the Churfirsten mountains, which are over 2100 metres high, gives the village at 430 metres above sea level a mild climate in which figs, kiwis and other exotic plants thrive alongside excellent wine. Quinten is car-free and a popular destination for hikes. In the centre of the village by the harbour there is a chapel, two restaurants with fish specialities (one of which is open all year round), a "Kellerlädeli" with Quinten specialities, a gift and souvenir shop and a wine cellar. There is a supermarket about 200 metres from the Murg West harbour on the opposite shore of the lake. Quinten can only be reached by boat or on foot. The scheduled boat Quinten-Murg calls at Quinten all year round, over 20 times a day in the summer months (approx. 12 times a day in winter). From Quinten harbour to the house it is a 200m uphill walk.
