    The approximately 3-3.5 hour hiking route 'Peace Stations' in the Appenzeller Vorderland leads to ten personalities who have selflessly and courageously committed themselves to people in great distress. They are all strongly connected to the Appenzeller Vorderland.

    Each of these women and men is dedicated a Peace Station. Red info cubes invite you to rest and engage with the moving life stories. For those who want to learn more about these personalities, historical facts about the portrayed individuals can be accessed via QR code on a mobile phone or tablet.
