Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Rel. Long, but not too steep ascent from Toggenburg (Starkenbach) to the Vorderhöhi. The higher you get, the wider the view.

August 18, 2023,Thur-Tour (und ein wenig mehr ...)

Everything went as planned up to Krummenau: first a nice climb to Amden with a wonderful view of Lake Walen. Then further up to Vorder Höhi. Temperatures are obviously rising. Some cooling during the descent to Starkenbach.
Then along the Thur, some trails/hiking paths, some nicely shaded in the forest.
