Culinary hike "From course to course" – Fivecountry view

The varied culinary hike takes you from the city of Gallus to the Rhine in the four-country corner. Breathtaking views of Lake Constance and three culinary stops in first-class excursion restaurants await you. After the first stage across flowering meadows and through shady forests, the restaurant Bären serves you a rich starter of Gruber specialities. With newfound energy, make your way up to the Fünfländerblick vantage point. Enjoy the spectacular view over Lake Constance and five countries: Switzerland, Austria, and the former independent states of Baden, Württemberg and Bavaria. From july 2025, the restaurant Treichli will be awaiting you and offering you a real classic garnished with a breathtaking view of Lake Constance. Now the descent to the restaurant Steiniger Tisch follows, where a well-deserved dessert is already waiting for you with the best view over the Thaler vineyards. The last stage ends at Rheineck railway station, where the train will take you comfortably back to St.Gallen. En Guätä!
