    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.
