Adventure tour
“Emol rondom” adventure tour – with two mountain railways and a boat through the Appenzeller Vorderland.
Take the Appenzeller Bahnen mountain railway from Rorschach on Lake Constance up to the beautiful Biedermeier village of Heiden. The unforgettable view of Lake Constance is a unique highlight of the trip. After lunch (included in the price), you will travel from Heiden to the Walzenhausen viewing terrace by private coach or public Postbus.
Another highlight is the descent on the Appenzeller Bahnen cogwheel railway from Walzenhausen to Rheineck. After just ten minutes, the train arrives in Rheineck, where the tour continues by boat. Passengers will have time to enjoy the beautiful landscape on a leisurely boat trip on the Old Rhine. On arriving at your destination in Rorschach, you end the half-day excursion where you started it a few hours before. More information on the adventure tour
