    Ich fuhr in entgegengesetzter Richtung. Die Gegend ist ziemlich Menschenleer und faszinierend. Ich machte ein YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/CyOpccncyz0 , für Indoor Cycling und als Tour Beschreibung.

    Bei Nebel sehr romantisch. Achtung! Erster Streckenabschnitt auf Karte ist falsch eingezeichnet. Es muss südlich des Kanals begonnen werden. Sonst landet man vor einem verschlossenen Elektrizitätswerk. 🙄

    Eine wirklich schöne voralpine Tour mit herricher Aussicht auf den Säntis und das ganze Alpstein-Gebiet. Die Tour ist technisch nicht so anspruchsvoll, hat aber immer wieder schöne kleine Singletrails die teilweise stark verwurzelt sind und die leicht zu übersehen sind, da sie stark verwachsen sind. Vermutlich werden diese Wege nicht oft begangen/befahren. Obwohl ich an einem Sonntag unterwegs war, hatte es kaum Wanderer. Die GPS Daten stimmen perfekt! Nur die Höhenmeter stimmen nicht ganz. Es ergeben sich über 1720 hm. Auch wenn diese Tour als nicht so hart eingestuft ist, verlangt das coupierte Gelände viel Kondition. Vielen Dank dem "Ersteller" für diese schöne Strecke, die scher auch im Frühling oder Herbst seinen Reiz hat.
