EMTB route to the Ätsch... Ätsch... Ätschberg (906 m) and along the five Haupwiler ponds
This EMTB route was really great fun, I wish all "imitators" the best on this beautiful route. Also see my GPS recording and the photos in the attachment.

General route description:
Rorschach – Roggwil – Watt – Wittenbach – Erlenholz – Engelburg – Ätschberg, and back via: Hohfirst – Tannenberg - Waldkirch – Hauptwil (pond) – Wilen – Leutswil – Winden – Roggwil – Steinach – Horn - Rorschach:
Time required, 4.45 hrs, route length, 68 kilometers, elevation gain 912 m, difficulty, none, (L),
This route is interesting and varied; the MTB rider will not get bored on this tour. The route mostly follows bike, agricultural, and hiking trails; only occasionally did I deviate onto a car-accessible road due to time constraints. The highlight was the ride from Ätschberg to Waldkirch and the ride past the five Hauptwiler ponds, the names of the five ponds being (Hauptwiler pond / Gwand pond / Horbacher pond / Rüti pond and Horber pond).
