Excursion

Breathtaking views and subtle Appenzell humour

An individual tour starting in Heiden with beautiful views across the lake, on a vintage cart, weather permitting. Afterwards, the PostAuto or a hike along the famous “Witzweg” joke trail takes you to Walzenhausen. And all along the way, you will encounter subtle jokes from Appenzell. You can also walk just part of the joke trail and take the PostAuto for the rest (PostAuto stops directly along the trail are located in Wolfhalden and in the Hueb). The recently renovated cog railway awaits you in Walzenhausen. It quickly takes you down to Rheineck where you board a ship for a romantic cruise through the Old Rhine nature reserve, deep into the Bay of Rorschach. 

You can also travel this route in reverse. 

You can purchase an attractive round trip ticket at the Heiden train station.

The excursion takes around 4 hours, or 6 hours including hike.
