-
Barfussweg
The trail climbs from Urnäsch's village centre — where stately Appenzeller houses line the streets and local cheese specialities fill the shop windows — up through pastures to the Bergrestaurant Osteregg, with a sweeping view stretching across the Appenzellerland all the way to the Bodensee. From the Zimmermannslauftegg ridge, the route continues toward Blattendürren before descending back to the village.
