Restored inland canal

Highlight (Segment) • River

Even though not all of it is paved, this route is worth doing at any time of year, as the vegetation sometimes changes quickly. You can also take a break on the island.

Very good alternative to get from the Rhine Valley to the Appenzellerland by racing bike. Far away from the busy Eichberg, Stoss, Ruppen, etc. The last 1.6km are gravel, but no problem for driving.
