August 2, 2024,RV-Tour, Ricken,Toggenburg, Vorder Höhi, Amden

Despite forecasts of thunderstorms in the morning, I set off on time and made good progress with little traffic over the Ricken and up the Toggenburg. Between photos 5 and 6, my Komoot was still on pause. The route is not so straight 🤷🏼‍♂️. Accordingly, the journey time is longer (according to Komoot 3 hours 58)😏☹️
