Appenzell Way
The Appenzellerweg leads across the border in three daily stages from the Vorarlberg pilgrimage town of Rankweil to the Toggenburg monastery village of St. Peterzell. Following old pilgrimage routes, the European cultural trail crosses the culturally and scenically unique Appenzellerland.
You can discover quiet chapels, large and small river courses, near-natural alps, typical farmhouses and hospitable inns. Along the way are the Innerrhoden capital of Appenzell and the villages of Gonten, Urnäsch and Schönengrund with their typical painted town houses and many cultural sights.
The Appenzellerweg runs in a straight line with varied ups and downs between 400 and 1100 metres above sea level on pleasant field and forest paths. Almost always in view - and always different: the Alpstein massif.
