Even in this "terrible" Corona time, I don't want to completely give up hiking. For this, I specifically chose a rarely frequented hiking route in Appenzell. I left my E-Bike at home, because with the mountain bike in the terrain something could happen more easily than on a leisurely hike. On April 4, 2020, at about 11:30 am, I started my route a bit above Heiden in Kaien.
very sunny but cold at St. Anton

In the "upper" regions around Rorschach, there has been a good amount of snow, only in Rorschach itself not, here the snow depth is zero. Therefore, today, on 10.01.2024, I want to see how much snow there has been a bit further up. I drove by car from Rorschach via Heiden up to Kaien, where I parked my car, now in the deep winter, in the free parking lot. My winter hiking route from Kaien over the Höhenweg up to St. Anton started in thick fog, but just a few hundred meters higher up I could already enjoy the most beautiful sunshine.

And again I am drawn to the beautiful Appenzellerland. Since I was already late, today, on March 8, 2020, it is "only" a short route from Oberegg up to St. Anton. Full of energy, I start at around 11:00 a.m. right in the middle of the village of Oberegg.
