Very nice view and easy to reach thanks to the cable car.
Accordingly, you are rarely alone here.

Hoher Kasten revolving restaurant
Just sit down and enjoy "rondom". In the only revolving restaurant in Eastern Switzerland on the Hoher Kasten, guests experience a limitless, changing 360° view. While the view stretches from the impressive backdrop of the Alpstein, across the lovely Appenzellerland to the expanse of Lake Constance, we spoil you with seasonal and regional specialties.
The revolving restaurant is open daily from April to February during the cable car's operating hours and is easily accessible by lift for guests with limited mobility.

Hoher Kasten – TOP OF APPENZELL
On the Hoher Kasten, the Swiss lookout mountain, the mountains are at your feet. The Hoher Kasten cable car takes you from Brülisau to 1,794 meters above sea level in eight minutes, where unique views of six countries await you. You can experience the 360° panorama not only on the barrier-free European circular route, but also in the only revolving restaurant in Eastern Switzerland – culinary delights included. The Alpine Garden, the plant paradise on the summit, also leaves a lasting impression. Or do you want to discover the most beautiful hiking trails in the Alpstein from the Hoher Kasten?
