Your muscles will be put to the test right at the start of the route. Nicely warmed up, you can enjoy the ride through the Möser from Eggerstanden. Don’t forget to turn around once – otherwise you’ll miss the impressive view of the entire Alpstein massif. Now, you can experience the hilly landscape up close. The constant climb through the Chräzeren forest to Hoher Hirschberg is rewarded by a magnificent view of the Alpstein. Here is a wonderful opportunity to quench your hunger and thirst before taking the long descent into the Rhine Valley some 550m below.
Next, the route takes you almost effortlessly through the vineyards to the historic market town of Altstätten, which has a wealth of cultural and traditional attractions in store. When you're ready to return to the Appenzell region, the Appenzell railways will gladly take the strain off you.
