Description
Rolling hills, deep ravines and the Ruppen Pass With the hills of the Appenzell region above and the flat Rhine valley below – on the hike from St. Anton down to Landmark, the border between the Innerrhoden district of Oberegg and Altstätten in St. Gallen is not far away. The route leads back to the Ausserrhoden municipality of Wald in a constant up and down through forests and across meadows. Farms are spread across the hills forming a typical scattered settlement landscape.
