Helpfulness
The whole Heidiland is an excellent place for cycling, either with your roadbike or mountainbike.
Ride leisurely along the river Rhine, or challange yourself on a steep mountain.
Except main roads every road or path is fine and safe.
Equipment: Bicycle, helmet, raingear, water and snacks

Helpfulness
The peak of the Regitzerspitz is more like a plattform, safely protected with a fence on the steep cliffside.
As you can see it can also be done by mountain bike, riding up to the top is a bit challanging, because of some tricky steps on the top, try it!

If you want to see the Rhinevalley from 600 meter above, then hike up to the Regitzerspitz.
Hike up there on a good path and enjoy the view from the top.
Behind the fence the cliff drops several hundert meters down towards the river and the wineyards.
The peak on the picture looks wild, but the path on the back side is not real steep, it is really a hiking tour, not a climb.
Don't worry, the path is safe!!!
Check also the map in the next tip.
The path is well marked with yellow signs
Equipment: Light hiking boots
Raingear
Water and a snack

Use caution, you share the road with Bicycles and Joggers, offcourse the tip applies for them too.

Heidi - dream of my childhood days
I allways wanted to visit ones Heidi's home. If you want to know more, go and visit VTmember LOISL, he has great tips on his page.
View from the kitchen window. I was amazed the view was exactly as I remember it from the movie. The Shirley Temple version was my childhood favorite.
