Sober Activities

Easy Panorama Hike (1 h 45 min) from Vögelinsegg to Teufen! We will meet at Vögelinsegg Station near Speicher (train from SG arrives at 10:11) and walk the panorama way to Teufen. In the middle of the way there is a restaurant called Waldegg and we can decide as a group to take a break or walk on. At the restaurant the learning path from the A. Vogel medicinal plants starts and ends at the garden where those who want can go see the plants and the others can walk 15 min to the train station of Teufen. The event is free! It would be good to bring water and sun protection. See you!
