Canton Glarus is not just blessed with natural beauty, but it also has for a very long time been an important industrial location.

In the valleys of Linth and Sernf the 50 km long Glarus Industrial Trail leads past about 50 interesting sights. The trail boasts venerable old factories and factory owners’ villas as well as power plants, canals and modern factories. At important points along the way information panels give hikers advice regarding routes and general information. The Glarus Industrial Trail, a biking and hiking trail, for the most part runs beside the main road and is well marked.
