EUROPE - 2019 - DAY 36

DAY 36 - JULY 16 - NAFELS to DORNBIRN

A bluebird day as I climbed out of the valley where I was in Nafels, and the views looking back were enough to write home about. Over the hill, the Walensee came into view and you couldn't help but smile. I don't think the scenery will get better than this. A big drop down to the Walensee and a great separate bikeway for most of it's length.

Today I was in 3 different countries and got a bit of a geography lesson. After Sargans and about half way into my ride for the day, I came to the Rhine River. This river is the border between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Both sides of the Rhine have a built-up levee with a very nice paved trail on both sides. I chose the Liechtenstein side. 

It was long and flat, but good views of the mountains. One picture is of the Vaduz Castle;

Toward the end of the day, I veered off to my hotel destination in Dornbirn, Austria.
