ROUTE WITH A VIEW

A section of the “Rond om Bühler” themed trail is cleared during the winter and well suited for families. The information panels, 12 in total, convey exciting facts about Bühler village and the Appenzellerland. The trail starts at Bühler station and leads across Hohe Buche, the highest point of this hike. The fantastic views of the Alpstein massif are an ample reward for having made the ascent. On clear days, the view even reaches as far as Lake Constance and the summits of central Switzerland. The trail then leads onwards to the Weissbach stream and Kriegersmühle. From Kriegersmühle mill, the route continues gently uphill to Steinleuten. From there, Bühler station, the starting point of this hike, comes back into view, which is now only a few minutes away. The trail is cleared and prepared from Steigbach/Bühler via Wissegg to Hohe Buche. The route is not marked in pink, but there are separate signs indicating the winter hiking trail. In addition, there is an overview map at the station.
