Rhine Valley Industrial Route
The themed trail leads from Rheineck to Rüthi - or vice versa. It is 40.3 kilometers long, largely follows the Rheintaler Höhenweg and can also be easily hiked in three stages - with the entry and exit points Rheineck, Heerbrugg, Altstätten and Rüthi.
The Rhine Valley Industrial Trail shows on 23 picture and text panels how the valley emerged from poverty and achieved prosperity thanks to creativity and innovation.
The industrial trail shows the beauty of the St.Gallen Rhine Valley in the midst of nature and tells of its special industrial history and its formative personalities.
Today, the Rhine Valley is a vibrant, cosmopolitan living and economic area with flourishing, world-leading technology companies. Their products fly as far as outer space. Once, however, the Rhine Valley was a poor flood plain.
History is brought to life with texts, film and sound documents.
