Magdenau Cistercian Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Especially when you take the road from Flawil up to Magdenau, you have a beautiful view of the Cistercian abbey, which was founded in 1244.
In addition to the monastery, the town of Magdenau is also an interesting "crossroads" for cycling trips in the region.
Several smaller roads lead from the Thur valley up to the connecting road between Degersheim, Wolferswil and Magdenau.
From Magdenau itself, there are several ways to get to Toggenburg in a southerly direction.
You can either stay on the road and drive to Mogelsberg or, after a few kilometers, turn right towards Lütisburg onto a great panoramic road.

Ascent to the Hulftegg

Highlight • Climb

I love this climb! During the weekdays there is very little traffic here and it is very enjoyable; however, on the weekend make sure you start the climb before 12:00 as there is a very heavy amount of motorbikes underway and this sometimes takes the fun and enjoyment out of the experience.

Historic Station Hall Bauma

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic station hall from 1875 (the DVZO in Bauma) found a new location.
In 2008, on the initiative of SBB Monument Preservation, the DVZO took over a historic building service building from 1875 that had to make way for a station renovation in Wolhusen (Canton Lucerne). In the course of 2009, the one-storey block building in the Bauma depot area was rebuilt and houses a storeroom and a lounge.
