Passing west of the beautiful Bettenauer Weiher (driving is prohibited all around).

Groot - Highest Point in the Canton of Thurgau With the Groot (991.1 m), we head to the highest point in the Canton of Thurgau: literally "the Top of Mostindien." Interestingly, about 10 m further on lies the so-called ridge, which is also the highest point of the elevation. It rises 5 m higher than the Groot and is located entirely in Mosnang, or rather, in the Canton of St. Gallen. On this tour, we explore the idyllic Tössberg region.

The Bettenauer Weiher lies in a depression between Wildberg and Uzwil, entirely within the municipality of Oberuzwil, in the Toggenburg region in the Swiss Alpine foothills. The pond's bottom consists of peat soil. The pond includes the smaller peat ponds to the east. The Bettenauer Weiher was originally a moor pond, the origin of which can ultimately be traced back to the formation of a depression between the Wildberg and Vogelsberg mountains during the Würm glaciation, when the entire Toggenburg region was covered by the Rhine glacier. The area around the Bettenauer Weiher is a fen of regional importance. It is part of an amphibian spawning area of national importance. For this reason, the pond has had an amphibian guide structure, a protected road underpass, since 1993. [Source: Wikipedia]

Because the view can be beautiful in good weather, and people like to come up here.

The canton Thurgau/St. Gallen is about 3 m away and 2 m lower than the Groot vantage point, which is already in the canton of St.Gallen. Well, bad luck 🤨

Pack your base pants, it's worth making a stopover here...
