The Industrie- und Naturweg, or Industry and Nature Trail, takes you on a journey past the most beautiful natural sites in St.Gallen and through 35 million years of history. The informational boards along the trail feature interesting facts about St.Gallen’s long history, for example, St.Gallen’s location on the coast 20 million years ago, the battle in Loch in May 1403 or the Maestrani Family who began making chocolate in St.Gallen in 1859. From the Drei Weieren, or Three Ponds, which was originally a water reservoir and is today a great place to swim. They also include information about freshwater crabs and lowland moors, dragonflies and dry stone walls. Discover the idyllic ponds above St.Gallen and the unspoilt nature in the Mühlenen Gorge right in the middle of the city.
