Source and mouth of the Seez

The Seez is a 33 kilometer long river in the canton of St. Gallen . It rises from a glacier on the Chli Schiben and first flows through the Weisstannental and then, largely canalised, the Seeztal . It flows into the Walensee . To Flums which runs parallel to the river 380 kV line-Sils Faellanden .

The Seez used to be the main tributary to the Walensee and left it again under the same name or Maag . Shortly afterwards this flowed into the Linth . Since the Linth correction under the direction of Hans Conrad Escher , the Escher Canal , which carries the water of the Linth into the lake, has been the largest tributary of the Walensee. Today the Linth Canal connects Lake Walen with Lake Zurich.
