On the Hulftegg-Hörnli-Sternenberg route there are always beautiful viewpoints, especially into the Untertoggenburg and Thurgau, but also into the Tösstal and as far as the Alps on a clear day.

The highlight is incorrectly located; it is not on the Hörnli, but on the path from Hulftegg to Alp Ergeten.

Located on MTB route 33. Some questionable meadow trails, a forest root path section that is impassable, steep scree paths that are barely passable, lots of cow fences and turnstiles. Oh well, if you like it.
