A bit scrawny, a bit overgrown due to the season, but not a problem.

The landowner does not want you to drive on the path, so it is better to avoid it and stay on the official trail.

On the Hulftegg-Hörnli-Sternenberg route there are always beautiful viewpoints, especially into the Untertoggenburg and Thurgau, but also into the Tösstal and as far as the Alps on a clear day.

The highlight is incorrectly located; it is not on the Hörnli, but on the path from Hulftegg to Alp Ergeten.

A very beautiful and easy trail along the stream. You have to be careful, as some high rocks unexpectedly protrude from the ground.
