ACROSS LOVELY HILLS WITH DISTANT VIEWS

The hiking trail from Wilen station in Herisau, via Nieschberg mountain to Waldstatt and back on the other side of the hill via Rechberg and Belch to the starting point boasts views reaching from Lake Constance to the Alpstein massif. The trails are also well accessible in the snow. During the cold months, the low winter sun makes for a fascinating play of light and shadow.
