Hike & Steam - The Sequel (T1)

On Ascention Day it was a nice hike along the Limmat with a stop-over that has pushed the word «Steam» into the event title.
Well, here is the sequel...: Along river Reuss to Brugg.

To note: This is a REAL hike of 20 km and 5¼ hours with, as an option, at the end a visit to the open days of the historic train collection at Bahnpark Brugg with steam engines in operation.
