The Walensee (German pronunciation: [ˈvaːln̩ˌzeː] ⓘ Lake Walen or Lake Walenstadt from Walenstadt , is one of the larger lakes in Switzerland , with about two thirds of its area in the Canton of St. Gallen and about one third in the Canton of Glarus . Other towns and villages at the lake include Weesen , Quinten , Quarten , and Murg.
The three main rivers leading to the lake are the Seez , Murgbach , and Linth . The last continues its course from Walensee to Lake Zurich . The Schnittlauchinsel , at the eastern end of the lake, is the only island in the Walensee.
The Churfirsten range raises steeply on the north side from the lake's level at 419 m to 2,306 m above sea level. On the south, the lake is overlooked by the Mürtschenstock Massif, whose peak is 2,441 m above sea level. The highest point of the lake's drainage basin is the Tödi (3,614 m).[1]
The lake provided the inspiration for a solo piano piece by Hungarian Romantic composer Franz Liszt , Au lac de Wallenstadt . The piece is part of a collection of solo piano works inspired by his travels to Switzerland in the 1830s.
