Hike & Bike from Stein SG to the Vorder Goggeien (1630 m) by Erich
September 10, 2025 · Community
Diese Tour kann natürlich gut auch ohne ein Bike gemacht werden, so weit ist es ja nicht, aber ab und zu ist es ja gut und sinnvoll, den „langweiligen“ Teil der Tour mit dem Bike abzukürzen. Es ist natürlich schade, dass ich beim Mittler Goggeien umkehren musste, aber ab und zu ist es besser den Rat der „inneren Stimme“ zu befolgen, als sich darüber hinwegzusetzen. Trotzdem war es natürlich eine sehr schöne Tour auf den Vorder Goggeien, mit der herrlichen Aussicht zum Alpstein und bis zum Bodensee. Siehe dazu auch noch mein Bericht auf Hikr: <a href="https://www.hikr.org/tour/post196424.html" class="oax_externallink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.hikr.org/tour/post196424.html</a> Viele Grüße Erich Walt
