St. Peterzell Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

The municipality of St. Peterzell is located in the hilly Toggenburg. There are a few traditional half-timbered houses along the main street. Food is available in a few restaurants or in the village shop.

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.

Panorama Road With View of Säntis

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The perfectly paved road leads over almost 10 kilometers with permanently beautiful views from Lütisburg to the junction on the road that leads from Nassen to Magdenau.
Both directions offer great views and offer a panorama that spans the entire route.
If you come from Lütisburg, you first have to climb a few meters to Tufertschwil. From there it goes gently up and down along the slope with a wonderful view past small hamlets, fields and orchards.
From the other direction you probably come up from Magdenau and then turn right. The signage there is "Lütisburg".
Certainly one of the most beautiful streets in the region.

Thur Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

At the deepest point of the Thur, directly below Lütisburg, there is a beautiful old wooden bridge from 1778. Since a new bridge allows traffic to pass through it, the old bridge is closed to traffic and is therefore reserved for pedestrians and cyclists. A photo stop is worthwhile here.
