Hundstein peak reflects in Fälensee at sunrise, in the Alpstein limestone range, Appenzell Alps, Switzerland, Europe. Founded in 1903, Berggasthaus Bollenwees is a beautiful place to stay overnight in private double ensuite or dormitory rooms. A spectacular ridge walk covered in wildflower gardens starts at Hoher Kasten, reached via cable car from Brülisau, just 10 minutes bus ride from Appenzell village. For a wonderful day hike, take the lift; or arranging for overnight stay at Berggasthaus Staubern or Bollenwees allows time to ascend Hoher Kasten summit (1794 m) on foot. Appenzell Innerrhoden is Switzerland's most traditional and smallest-population canton (second smallest by area).
