Great expectations: the view from the Säntis mountain onto Lake Constance. Or a ‘Zvieri’ (afternoon snack) in the demonstration cheese dairy. The places of interest in the Appenzellerland combine tradition with a modern spirit and activities with enjoyment.
The Säntis mountain is the king of the Alpstein mountain range. It towers 2,502 m above sea level and is the region’s landmark. In the ‘NaturErlebnispark’ (Nature Discovery Park) and the demonstration cheese dairy on Schwägalp visitors can experience genuine nature, culture and customs. www.saentisbahn.ch
The production and storage facility for Appenzell cheese offers a vivid introduction into the art of cheese production. Information boards and the ‘cheese cinema’ tell those who are interested more about the origins of Appenzell cheese over 700 years ago, the quality requirements and the various different types of Appenzell cheese. www.schaukaeserei.ch
The journey through time to the three pre-historic caves at Wildkirchli starts on the Ebenalp mountain: they are said to have healing, invigorating properties. Below the craggy rock faces Wildkirchli resembles a sanctuary. www.ebenalp.ch
The entire Appenzellerland under one roof: this is only possible in Waldegg at the sunny hillside of Teufen. This is where ‘Grosis Bauernhaus’ (‘Grandmother’s Farmhouse’) is situated – a nostalgic experience dating back to 1930. In the ‘Schnuggebock’ time has been gently turned back. Hearty cuisine instead of fancy dishes pampers the palate of the guests. www.waldegg-teufen.ch
The Kronberg mountain is the Appenzellerland’s family and leisure mountain. Young and old have to demonstrate courage and skill in the rope park and on the bob run. On a treasure hunt with many tricky riddles and games, the hours spent walking simply fly by. www.kronberg.ch
