Jakobsweg: Wattwil to Neuhaus - 3 April 2011

Gorgeous weather again so although I could do with a day of rest, I feel I must make the most of this opportunity to finish the part of Jakobsweg on the other side of Zurich lake. From then I'll be going forwards and away, rather than still trying to complete the arrival part (if you see what I mean).

Comparatively short trip to Wattwil, but a bit of a climb to Iberg castle. Great view of the mountains, the monastery and the descent that wrecked my knees last week. Expecting Iberg castle to be closed, I was ready to walk on by, but in fact it was open and entry was free. Definitely worth a quick detour. Then the path continued onwards and upwards. A sudden surprise in the woods, given that I was not far out of town - two deer. They stopped for long enough for me to get a photo of one.
