Kaien-St.-Anton-Weg
Rolling green hills on the Appenzell borderland give way to sweeping views over the Bodensee, with the Alps rising behind it and the horizon stretching as far as Vorarlberg and the Allgäu. Information panels along the route explain the medicinal plants and herbs growing in the flower-filled meadows that line the way.
