Appenzell Alp Trail - 2nd leg

While there is a hustle and bustle at the beginning of the second section around the valley station of the Säntis cable car, you are then almost on your own on the various alps, in the middle of an intact and untouched natural landscape. Only the sound of cowbells reminds you that you can't claim the world all to yourself. The stage leads over the Chammhalde to the Gerstengschwend, a mountain formation also praised in numerous folk songs. Over the Blattendürren you head downhill to Urnäsch.
