Hiking in Appenzelland, Switzerland

Appenzell is in Eastern Switzerland, about 100km and an hour from Zurich.


I parked my car at the P3 Parking ( Ziel) and walked a Km to the Bahnhof.


Bought a day ticket ( Tageskard) to Gais and hopped off at Sammelplatz and hiked in the meadows in and around Hoch Hirchberg.

Couple of hours later, hiked down to Gais and rode the Appenzeller Bahn ( AB) to Appenzell. Unique painted buildings are worth watching.




Like their buildings, the food, cheese, wine and beer is very good, unique and famous.

The Canton of Appenzell also has a Bear Flag. Very Cool. See it fluttering with the familiar white cross.












Worth the day !
