Konzil-Radweg
I just got back from a beautiful 40km bike ride along the Konzil-Radweg that goes from St. Gallen to Konstanz. It’s a great route that parallels the Lake of Constance about 1km inland from the shore. I managed to get to Kreuzlingen five minutes before the returning train departed. Yay!
I’m impressed with what St. Gallen and Thurgau have done with their regional bike routes. Unless I was oblivious to it before, a number of new routes have been marked and mapped over the past few years. It’s a wonderful compliment to the nine national routes of Switzerland. Kudos to the Thurgau Tourist Office for providing a free book with information about the Thurgau routes. I hope to find a similar book for St. Gallen.
All I can say is I’m so jealous. Unless my eyes aren’t open to it, I really haven’t found much riding like that here in Canada. I loved riding in Switzerland so much, it was just calm, lovely and full of just bikers and no cars!
Isn’t Vancouver full of cycling trails? But yes, the cycling out here is fantastic. I’m looking forward to June and cycling for six weeks!
