    Einem Jakobsweg würdig, einschl. der (kurzen) gefährlichen Abschnitte auf der Straße. Besonders schön sind die Waldabschnitte und der liebevolle angelegte Pilger-Rastplatz in Ellighausen. Man spürt ein wenig den Flair des Caminos – mehr davon

    Wetter bewölkt, also ideal fürs Wandern, mit guter Sicht auf Friedrichshafen und Meersburg. Dabei sind wir der Beschilderung gefolgt - Schloss Sulzberg - Untereggen - Martinsbrücke - (Schaugenbädli) - St. Gallen Neudorf - Stiftskirche, in der Stadt St. Gallen leitet die gelbe Markierung durch ruhige Wohngegenden. Der hier hinterlegte Track hätte uns über Eggmoos (120 überflüssige Höhenmeter) und in der Stadt St. Gallen entlang der vielbefahrenen Rorschacherstrasse N7 geführt.

    Wir sind den Weg anders herum gelaufen und haben Höhenmeter bergauf gesammelt. Da das Wetter nicht so schön war, sind wir nicht exakt dem Jakobsweg gefolgt, sondern den festen Wegen. Das Allgäu ist einfach immer schön und bietet wunderbare Ausblicke.
