Day 92 - Vaduz to Widnau - 58kms

We waited till the sun rose above the peaks before heading back across the border (a simple sign on a bridge) into Switzerland.

Great paths provided for effortless cycling alongside the Rhine before we headed through small Swiss villages for our last view of theses majestic mountains. Spying a cable car in the distance we cycled up to the station to realise it was an automatic time based operation with no staff present.

Jumping on board Kev and self were treated ti an incredible 2000 metre ride to the nearby Mtn tops with the car only spanning 4-5 towers in the whole distance and at times having a 3-400 feet drop!


Stunning views from the top !

At the top a restaurant sat perched against a Mtn peak and whole families and school children were hiking in the area with significant drops off some of the paths!

With our little diversion done we cycled onwards on again fairly flattish terrain passing through the old town of Allstadt and after unsuccessfully searching for accommodation going on another 10kms to Widnau where we called it a dag with a weather change appearing imminent.

After 3 months on the go we were now only 50kms from reaching our destination at Romanshorn on the Bodinsee!
