View of Stein am Rhein from St. Johann Church (Burg)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Church of St. John at Burg, Stein am Rhein
The small church of St. John is hardly noticed by many visitors to the town of Stein am Rhein. But the Church of St. John at Burg is a little gem. It is the oldest church in the canton of Schaffhausen. Its origins date back to the end of the late Roman fort, the masonry of which can be viewed at the entrance to the church hill.
Services have been held here for over 1400 years. The building shows that it has been rebuilt and expanded several times. Wall paintings from 1420 have been preserved in the Gothic choir. They were created shortly after the end of the Council of Constance. The three picture cycles show scenes from the Old and New Testaments (the story of creation, the story of John the Baptist and scenes from the life of Jesus).
On the choir wall on the left, the birth vision of the Swedish Princess Birgitta is depicted for the first time since her canonization. The mother of eight children had made a pilgrimage to Bethlehem and witnessed the birth of Jesus there in a vision. Her visions are written down in several books. Birgitta was canonized in Constance on Candlemas 1415.

Napoleon Tower Hohenrain

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower has a somewhat special design: the 208-step spiral staircase is protected by wooden walls, the slats of which are arranged in such a way that a view is possible at all times through the slots. The tower is 40 meters high. The viewing platform is at 36.5 meters.

Hochwacht Mammern Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

What a brilliant vantage point, known for centuries, the view stretches from Lake Constance across the beautiful panorama of the area to the Alps.
There has to be a bench and a barbecue area right here, everything is perfect here.

December 23, 2021,MTB Seerücken Rundtour bei eisigen Temperaturen 🥶🥶 und das Geld für Kryolipolyse kann ich getrost sparen 😝😝
Before the chilled days 24./25./26. Another MTB round trip with nasty abnormal wind on the ridge of the lake brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So and if you think that the next few days will not be chilled 🤣 I recommend the special advent calendar for the next year:

Awesome tour today in glorious weather on great trails and panoramic routes on the Seerücken. Today again in the luggage the drone and the action cam on the helmet. A new video is coming.

Since there is nothing historical today, I will end the blog and stay healthy, alert and enjoy the tours in the great weather.

Lucky - MTB round trip on the Seerücken with great viewpoints and paths. I was lucky with the weather, today, shortly before the thunderstorms started I was home.

So the tour is away from all tourists on the Seerücken, about 5% of the tour has to be on the official Lake Constance cycle path.

From Öhningen along the lake to Tägerwilen, then up towards the Napoleon Tower. Near the tower through the forest, and then over the Seerücken back to Öhningen.

Today's motto: "Just do it - it could be INCREDIBLE"!

An absolutely panoramic pleasure tour and the pictures speak for themselves.

The destination was the stone table and the Hochwacht. The table sits majestically above the lake, many robber barons' feasts took place there and poets, writers and composers sought out the table, the place to work on their works.

Today's MTB tour is based on yesterday's encounter during my hike from Stein am Rhein. In the pouring rain I encountered a procession on the Hemishofer Bridge and struck up a conversation. The figure of St. Mary was brought from St. Kathariental Diessenhofen (former monastery) to the pilgrimage site of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. 4 men carried the massive …

Today's tour description starts with a bit of wisdom: "Not everything has to make sense. Sometimes just having fun is enough and we're not in the world to be perfect. We're here to be happy.” And that's exactly what today's panorama tour was about: fun and being happy, being out and about in the middle of nature and letting your …

Nice MTB round trip in wonderful weather with a few shorter trails and a panorama on the Seerücken.

I have already written a lot about the Neuburg ruins and leave it to you to comment today.

Unfortunately, the US-Mex beach bar in Steckborn was still closed in the afternoon, opening times from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and you can …
