Oeschinensee

Fantastically beautiful lake, framed by several two- and three-thousanders. By not too heavy climb, this is a destination for the entire family. You should wear sturdier footwear. Also gastronomy and boat rentals are available.

Seealpsee

Beautiful mountain lake in the middle of the Alpstein, with a panorama that couldn't have been created better on the computer. Free-roaming cows, bright green sparkling water, cheese dairy, alphorn players... what more could you want?

Fählensee

The Fählensee is the third largest mountain lake in the canton of Appenzell and is located in a very narrow valley between the Bollenwees mountain inn and the Zwingli Pass, embedded between the Hundsteingrat and Roslen-Saxer-First. Just beautiful. Highly recommended!
