Today, on 24.03.2019, the plan was a spring hike from Lake Constance to Kaienspitz. Early in the morning, I started from my home in Rorschach in the most beautiful weather. A hike on the Rorschacherberg and the adjacent Appenzellerland is always a special experience because of the beautiful landscape and the great view of Lake Constance.

The goal of today's "test run" is to test my left knee, which I twisted during my last hike to Fähnerenspitz in December 2021 during a "stupid" slip, stretching/overextending the ligaments of the knee. Since my knee has now successfully endured today's 13 km hike with 600 meters of ascent and descent, I am now confident for a great hiking season 2021.

    Geschätzte Schwierigkeit: T1/T2. Ich bin auf den "Fünfländerblick" in der letzten Novemberwoche gegangen, es hatte zuvor schon geschneit. Der Großteil der Route war aber vollkommen eis-/schneefrei. Man hat öfters, v.a. am Gipfel, eine tolle Aussicht auf den Bodensee. Geschätzt die Hälfte des Weges führt allerdings durch Wald und der Startpunkt ist am Hafen, weshalb man zunächst rund einen Kilometer durch die Stadt muss, je nachdem wo man einen Parkplatz bekommt. Man kann die Tour übrigens auch erweitern (+1,5km), indem man anstatt den gleichen Weg zurück geht (langweilig!), nord-östlich in Richtung Wienacht die Straße entlang geht und dann durch den Wald zw. Hohriet und Wartensee nach Rorschacherberg geht. Aber so oder so ist sicherlich mehr als die Hälfte des Weges geteert, was vielleicht nicht jedermans Sache ist. Die berechneten 3 Std. 30 Mins. wird wahrscheinlich fast jeder mit etwas Wandererfahrung unterbieten.

    Wenn man einen längeren Rückweg machen möchte, kann man hier Richtung Nordosten vom Gipfel weg gehen.

    Ich bin die Route ziemlich genau so abgelaufen, allerdings mit Hüttenübernachtungen. Hier ist die Hüttenversion: Alpenüberquerung Bodensee > Lago Maggiore mit Hüttenübernachtung

    Am Rorschacherberg kann bei jedem Wetter sehr gut gewandert werden, ob es regnet oder schneit oder auch, wenn die Sonne lacht.

    Heute am, 9. Februar wurde mir wieder einmal so richtig bewusst, in was für einer schönen Gegend ich zuhause sein darf. Sonne, See, Berge und grüne Wiesen (neu auch im Februar) wo das Auge auch hinschaut, so richtig um die Seele baumeln lassen und die Alltags-Sörgelchen zu vergessen, - wie in einem „schönen“ Traum. Diese Tour würde ich als „traumhafte Wandertour über dem Bodensee im Herzen von Europa“ bezeichnen, eine schönere Tour ab dem Bodensee kann ich mir nicht vorstellen.

    Diese Frühlingswanderung kann ich nur weiterempfehlen, diese Wanderung ist vor allem wegen der herrlichen Aussicht auf den Bodensee und in die Berge (Alpstein) ein einzigartiges Erlebnis. Wer die Tour verlängern möchte kann natürlich von Heiden zu Fuß nach Rorschach zurückkehren, - der muss aber auf die schöne Zugfahrt mit der Zahnradbahn verzichten.
