    Arrêt au-delà de Mels, bivouac en forêt sur la route au lieu dit "furstchchopf" sur la carte. Pas d'eau.

    Monaco - Trieste
    Sargans - Vaduz is a transition walk that took me 6h (slowly), mostly roads to walk

    Hotel zum Ritterhoff was the cheapest in Sargans in the summer of 2011 (Single bath with breakfast 75 Sf.), but it generates a LOT of noise: there is one train every 10' all night long in the back, AND a disco in the front. So, think it twice before going into it.
