| Our last day of riding begins with a stop in the town of Wil. This former capital of the Princes of St. Gall sits high on a hill and has managed to keep all of its charm despite its diminished importance. The numerous town squares and historic buildings will be difficult to leave, so we’ll have a coffee…or two and then we’ll have to move on.
We’ll be coasting downhill today, through meadows and alpine pastureland through the Canton of Thurgau and onto the Canton of St. Gall. As you’ve clearly noticed by now, preservation is a priority for the Swiss, so there biking across a 500 year old stone bridge or stopping at an 800-year old castle with moat and drawbridge shouldn’t be a surprise. stopping
Passing through some peat bogs and through the meadows you’ll get your first view of the vast Lake Constance, the second largest lake in central Europe (after Lake Geneva). It’s all downhill now, enjoy the finish.
Once at the lake, we’ll celebrate with drinks at the waterfront. Those of you who brought your bathing suits: now’s the time !
