Appenzellerland: Hiking, tobogganing, excursion tips
This family's experience:

Activities: We took a walk through Appenzell. We saw the Kapuzinerinnenkloster and the Schloss von Appenzell. We walked through the main street and saw traditional Appenzeller houses. "We strolled on towards the river, stocked up on sweet provisions at a bakery and returned to the train station past the church of St. Mauritius."

Highlights: The town itself is absolutely worth seeing ✨
