Pilgrims' Trail section Ligerz–Twann

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Wonderful narrow path that leads through the middle of the vineyards. Interestingly enough, he is much less committed compared to the road leading up the road.

The highlights of the tour:
- Bat cave
- Glassblowing workshop with mineral collection and café
- Grape oaks, reportedly more …
