The week before we'd made a wonderful hike close to the Appenzeller town of Urnäsch so we decided to visit the area again. This was an equally beautiful hike from the town of Urnäsch, enjoying glorious views from along the Hochhamm, down through the pretty woods around Färenstetten and back to Urnäsch. Stunning!

This is a glorious hike over a broad ridge between Urnäsch and Appenzell. It passes over the little peak of Hundwiler Höhi and has simply stunning views over the rolling hills of Appenzellerland and further across to the Swiss and Austrian alps.

For such a simple and relaxing stroll, this hike in north-east Switzerland has wonderful views to 4 countries.

For a bit of maritime feeling in the middle of the mountains, this little stroll is just the thing. It is relaxing, offers beautiful views of the lake and most importantly: there is ice cream at the end.

A beautiful walk along Lake Constance from Lindau to Wasserburg in southern Germany. It leads through old Villas, through parks, past fruit plantations and of course along the lake. There are lovely places to rest along the way and of course Lindau island at the end for an ice cream stop.
