ガルゲネンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The name says it all: around 450 meters of elevation gain over 1.5 km. A mostly steep climb through the forest that demands both fitness and muscle strength. At the end, you are rewarded with a magnificent view from the Stockberg.

View of the Linth Mountains, with the Speer and its foothills in the background.

Very suitable for families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Small but nice 😃

The ascent along the west ridge is not exposed, but very steep, mostly consisting of steps. It's pleasant that the path leads almost entirely through the forest.

Great view of the Appenzell mountains

The chapel was first mentioned in a letter of indulgence on December 30, 1362. The chapel was consecrated on September 10, 1398. In 1622, the chapel underwent extensive remodeling, acquiring its present appearance. The church is equipped with an alarm system; even touching the ropes triggers an alarm.

Bit bumpy with large stones on this last segment, but a nice place for a break to admire the view (and whistle).

On foot! Pushing the bike up isn't worth it!
