Heiden—a magical place with plenty of options for day trips!
We’re hiking toward Grub, AR, to the Mattenbachtobel. Since late April 2019, a spectacular suspension bridge has connected the sister communities of Grub, AR, and Grub, SG. What an adventure!
-> The bridge sways slightly, so this section of the trail isn’t suitable for nervous dogs.
We continue on to the Fünfländerblick, where, on a clear day, you can enjoy the spectacular view across Lake Constance all the way to our neighboring countries. Two well-equipped fire pits are available here for longer breaks. Alternatively, it’s also worth making a detour to the Rossbüchel inn or the Treichli restaurant.
The following sections of the trail lead us through forests and meadows to Wartensee Castle. From here, you can take the nostalgic Appenzeller Bahnen train for a leisurely ride back to Heiden, or, if you’re up for it, follow the hiking trail (approx. 1.40h) back to Heiden.
