• After Breakfast – short walk back through the Wildkirchli-Caves to the cable car which will bring you down again – and ride by train to Appenzell.
• Appenzell is the most traditional village in Switzerland and, with a population of around 7,000, is the political, economic and cultural center of the smallest Swiss canton, Appenzell Innerrhoden. In the car-free town center, the pretty alleyways with their numerous small stores entice visitors to stroll and shop. The houses, richly decorated with paintings, are characteristic. The Appenzell Museum in the town hall shows a cross-section of history and culture. Appenzell lives the most direct democracy possible - on the Landsgemeindeplatz, all the people still vote on all the canton's business by raising their hands.
• Your tour through Appenzell will be self-guided – with our map and some information – with the highlight – an Apéro (one glass of whitewine)  with a special hot cheese-bread (Appezöller Chäsflade) at the typical bakery & restaurant Drei Könige.
• To get back to the hotel, you can either take the train (just a few minutes ride) or – what we suggest – an approx. 1 hour walk along the stream Sitter. Please take your time to enjoy the fabulous new Resort Hof Weissbad SPA in midst of the wonderful nature!
