Hello Travellovers
Many of you plan trips with places you known before or that are written in bold letters on the interrail map. This option is very efficient but, also very likely to miss some really nice places. Today I want to introduce you one hidden gem close to my domicile:
The Rorschach Heiden Bahn
It is located in the north east of Switzerland and starts directly from lake constance.
Please note, all stations are stop on request. So you need to press the button if you are in the train and want to leave at a certain station.
From the end station Heiden, there is another nice hiking route to Walzenhausen. It is called “Witzwanderweg” (jokes hiking route), but the jokes are only in German. (If you don’t want to hike you can also take a public bus (not included in Interrail)). Anyway, the route is nice and let reach you another hidden gem included in interrail:
That one brings you to Rheineck, where you can take a river & lake cruise to Rorschach (50% discount with interrail!).
But you can also just take the train back to Rorschach. Btw, if you stay in this region, try to choose an accomodation participating in the OSKAR guest card. This is a great offer that includes public transport, and also ships, and several mountain railways like Säntis, Hoher Kasten, etc, and some museums. It costs CHF 10 a day and can allow you to save interrail travel days.
So, I hope to see here many interrailers soon :D
