    Sehr schöner Aufstieg von Heerbrugg nach St Anton. Abwechslungsreich durch schöne Wälder, zum Teil offenem Gelände mit schönen Ausblicken über das Rheintal bzw. ins Appenzell. Und das alles (bis auf St Anton selber) abseits der Wanderautobahnen. Der Abstieg nach Altstätten ist leider etwas weniger romantisch. Mountainbiker haben vermutlich mehr Freude dran.

    Sehr schöne Route. Man müsste aber korrigieren. Technik erhöhen auf 2 Punkte und Kondition auf 3 Punkte erhöhen. Es ist auch eher eine mittlere Route anstatt leicht. Negativ ist das diese Route extrem stark von Mountainbikern benutzt wird.
