Toggenburg - (Obertoggenburg)

From Wildhaus the road goes downhill on a moderate gradient over Alpine meadows flanked by mountains, then enters the forest and runs more steeply down through the wooded Simmi gorge to the Zolhaus inn (706 m/2,316ft). From here it winds its way down the slopes of the Gamser Berg, with extensive views (parking place in 200 m/656ft, on right) and magnificent vistas of the Rhine valley and the Liechtenstein Alps.

On the hillside to the right of the road exiting Wattwil can be seen the Franciscan nunnery of St Maria zu den Engeln (574 m/1,883ft: 17th C.) and, opposite it, to the south, Iberg Castle (13th C., restored).

Barely 5km/3mi from Unterwasser is Wildhaus (1,098 m/3,603ft), a widely scattered health and winter sports resort (indoor swimming pool; climbing school; holiday courses in hand-weaving; ice-ink, curling rink, cross-country skiing), magnificently situated on an open pass below the south side of the Wildhauser Schafberg (2,384 m/7,822ft).

From Chufirsten the road crosses the Wildhaus pass (1,098 m/3,602ft; climbing frames for children) and through the beautifully wooded Simmigorge into the Rhine valley.
