Highlight • Natural

Whether a detour to Lintheben is worthwhile, everyone must decide for themselves: flat, gravel paths and asphalt lanes, quite often headwinds.

August 24, 2023,Von Zürich nach Sargans mit Abstecher nach Fläsch

My time in the saddle: 5:56 hours, average speed 19.1 km/h
Instead of climbs, there were two passages through illuminated tunnels at km 66 and 67.7.
The Seeweg (lake route) between Murg and Unterterzen is only open to bicycles on weekdays.
I also got lost in Rapperswil...
