Patricia (from 18.06.18):
At the monastery Fischingen I started with the double stage to Rapperswil. After 2 hours of quite steep ascent to the Hörnli, I was rewarded with a beautiful view.
The route from Hörnli to Steg was mainly on dirt roads and meadows. From Steg, unfortunately, I had to walk for a long time on pavements along the main road until the path between Fischenthal and Gibswil led a short distance through a moorland area. From Gibswil the path led again over fields and meadows, but again a lot of concrete road and without much shade.
The last section then ran through a beautiful forest, where there are also possibilities for the dogs to bathe in the brook and there were also places for roasting. From Jona, after 6.5 hours and 32 kilometers of walking, I took the train to Rapperswil, because everything would have gone only through the village along the main road.
The hike was beautiful, but the 2nd part from Steg is not necessarily recommended with dogs, because a lot of the way along the road...
