The Biberlichopf is a largely wooded elevation with two peaks that protrude from the north into the Lint plain. It is located in the area of the municipality of Schänis east of Ziegelbrücke in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen . The crests reach heights of 553 and 566 m above sea level. M. The latter point is a much-visited resting place some 140 meters above the plain.

History and Buildings

Archaeological excavations and investigations in the 19th century unearthed ceramics and weapons from the Augustan period. The finds could be dated to the second decade BC Chr.

Remains of a square, approximately 9 by 9 meter wide stone watchtower with stepped walls on both sides and a built-in water basin were found near the Biberlichopf. The watchtower was probably part of the early August security system that was created to protect the connection between Lake Zurich and Lake Walen . A military shelter was built over the remains of the tower during the First World War . On the mountain side are remains of anti-tank traps.

Today the Linth Canal passes the Biberlichopf at the southern foot . Before the Linth correction in 1816, the Maag flowed around the hill.

The location in the north is called Lindenboden . On the northeast side, five high-voltage lines from Axpo AG and EWZ run past the hill. To the west-northwest is the Ziegelbrücke station ; The Ziegelbrücke – Sargans railway line passes under the Biberlichopf in a 400-meter-long tunnel right after the station.
