Nature has woken up, showing lush green grass, bright yellow flowers and pale pink buds. The diverse route takes the hiker east of Gais village across gravel paths, small asphalt roads, rooty forest paths, soft earth and moist reed soil. And the views from the Schwäbrig and Sommersberg mountains are fantastic. They reach from the Alpstein massif in the south via the Rhine Valley and the Vorarlberg region in the east to Lake Constance in the north.
