A beautifully situated lake, squeezed between high rock walls.
You are not allowed to ride a bike in the Alpstein area. That's why we pushed it...
The answer from Appenzeller Tourism (Appenzell.ch) to my inquiry:
To put it briefly: Yes, the lakes mentioned cannot be reached by bike and are prohibited from cycling.
The Alpstein is a hiking area and is explicitly reserved for hiking. In addition, "safety", "agriculture" and "gamekeeping" play important roles in enabling people to live together.
There are also occasional checks to see whether the ban on cycling is being observed.
But here are a few tour suggestions where bikes are allowed.

Here is also a link to a map with the official routes:

I hope this has been of use to you.

Maybe keep asking if anything has changed.

There is a general ban on biking, which applies to the entire Alpstein and unfortunately all year round (including out of season and when mountain inns are closed).

Incredibly beautiful - accessible by bike from Brülisau through the Brüeltobel
