Up and down with the Säntis as a backdrop

Impressive molasse bands, lush meadows, and green forests shape the landscape on the hike southwest of Kronberg. The path repeatedly passes alpine huts. Two of these alp farms are owned by the Pro Appenzell Foundation: Ober Gerstengschwend and Grossbetten. Founded in 1963, the foundation aims to protect nature from disruptive interventions. This also includes the commitment to traditional management of the alpine pastures.
