Highlight • Viewpoint

brilliant descent, or nice ascent ... you should stick to the speed recommendation of 20km a bit, because now and then there is coarse gravel on the road ...

View of the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance from Kamor

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Imposing views, especially in the Rhine Valley. But also to Appenzell. Only far up the Alpstein comes into view. The road is tarred.
