Lake Toma is the beginning of the Rhine’s journey towards the north. Here, the water is clear down to the riverbed and the only clue to the river’s later size and mightiness is its rapid flow.
Vier-Quellen-Weg
The first stage of the Four-Sources-Route leads from the Oberalp Pass, where the lighthouse also stands, to the Rhine source at Lake Toma and ends at the Vermigel hut. The highest point is located at the Maighels pass (2421 m), where the idyllic Portgeren lake invites hikers to take a break.
