Kreuz und Quer durch Toggenburg - 17 Wanderungen

The house of Ulrich Bräker, the "poor man in Tockenburg", appears to be a varied walking area in this guide. Toggenburg stretches from Wil to Wildhaus, from the forested hills of Alttoggenburg to the peaks of Alpstein and Churfirsten. Thanks to its pre-Alpine altitude, it is also ideal for walks in autumn and spring.
Bettina Dyttrich presents 12 one-day and 5 two-day tours: They lead past caves and raised bogs, over ridges and cirques to well-known and lesser-known peaks such as the Speer, the Leistchamm or the Lütispitz. Hiking trails lead to neighboring regions, such as the sunny shores of Lake Walen.
The service section contains all necessary information about the trip, accommodation, safety and sights along the way. In addition, there are interesting facts about the rebellious Toggenburgers who dreamed of independence for centuries, about the heyday of the textile industry in the 18th century, and about Switzerland's first peasant painter. The present is also not neglected: meetings with cheese makers and cultural workers and with the extraordinary musical theater group "Die Regierung". Thanks to the numerous references to locations of special plants, the book is also a treasure trove for lovers of mountain flowers. The walks are easy to moderately difficult and usually suitable for children from about 10 years old.
