    Eine etwas andere Etappe… zunächst geht es durch mehrere Wohnviertel; hier trifft man auf zahlreiche mit Geschmack kreierte und Herzblut gepflegte Grundstücke • der sanfte Aufstieg zum Arenenberg belohnt den Wanderer mit einer herrlichen Panoramasicht auf den Untersee • der letzte Teil gefällt mit Natur und Aussicht gleichermaßen – Fazit: eine lohnenswerte Strecke

    Sehr schöner Weg. Startete in Schaffhausen und war knapp 12h später in Kreuzlingen. Man beachte die Betriebszeiten der Rhein-Fähre Büsingen. Ich bin zu Fuss weiter bis Diessenhofen und habe da die Brücke verwenden. Stein am Rhein eignet sich als Kaffee-Halt, hat tolle kleine Kaffees in der Altstadt nur weniger Meter von der Route entfernt.

    Wunderschöne Panoramatour mit Sicht von den Östereicher Alpen über Säntis, Churfirsten bis weit in die Glarner Alpen. Der Abstecher zum Napoleonturm ist ein Muss, nur dann ergänzt sich das Panorama auch auf den Bodensee bis weit in den Norden. Wenn's windet kann es jedoch recht unangenehm sein.

    Nous avons fait ce tour hier et bien que le parcours ne soit pas difficile, cela a été un peu dur compte tenu des conditions climatiques. Ce tour ne comprend quasiment pas d'ombre sur environ 80% du parcours aussi à éviter si on est sensible aux températures caniculaires en fonction de son état et / ou de sa condition. Hormis ce détail climatique, nous recommandons ce tour car il permet de monter progressivement jusqu'à la Tour Napoléon et d'avoir une belle vue sur le Bodensee.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit tollen Aussichtspunkten. Leider war die Sicht heute nicht besonders gut, so dass wir das Alpenpanorama leider nciht geniessen konnten. Die Ausblicke auf den Bodensee waren aber phänomenal. Als kleine Kritik ist anzumerken, dass diese Tour nicht beschildert ist, ohne GPS-Führung wird man an einigen Stellen Schwierigkeiten haben den beschriebenen Weg zu finden. Sogar mit GPS mussten wir bei der Burg Salenstein zwei Anläufe machen bis wir den unscheinbaren Waldpfad gefunden haben.
