Snake Trail

Highlight • Trail

A narrow, winding trail along the Thur River. If you follow it all the way, you'll come across a slightly tricky ford, where it briefly climbs steeply. It can be slightly overgrown in summer, and there's a danger of ticks!

Then I considered the Säntis (with the LSB), but according to the webcam, despite the nice weather, the visibility wasn't good.
