The Holy Cross Chapel on the main street was rebuilt after the devastating village fire of 1560. The stained-glass windows depicting the five mysteries of the Sorrowful Rosary were created by Ferdinand Gehr in 1964. Despite the sometimes large number of tourists, the chapel is a place of peace and contemplation. The stained-glass windows enchant the daylight, which falls golden into the Holy Cross Chapel. The installation of these, for their time, very modern stained-glass windows sparked much discussion in the Appenzell region and drew some criticism. Everyone is encouraged to come and experience the atmosphere of this small chapel for themselves.

The main town of Appenzell lies in the valley of the Sitter River, surrounded by lush green hills. It was first mentioned in the founding charter of the parish church in 1071 and encompasses the area of the former "farm" of Appenzell. For this reason, the inhabitants of the village are still called "Hofer" (farmers).

Very beautiful, old town, great town center, fun to walk through.

Beautiful alley in the village of Appenzell

Beautiful old town, starting point for many tours. 🥰

Plattenbödeli mountain inn since 1911 at 1284 m above sea level. Unique landscape in the Alpstein. 1911 - Innkeeper Jos. Anton Dörig "Mattle" (great-grandfather of Platte Hans and grandfather of Meglisalp Mile) bought a piece of land at the exit of the Brüeltobel and built a small guesthouse, which he soon handed over to his daughter Franziska Inauen-Dörig. 1917 - Handed over to daughter Franziska Fritsche-Inauen. 1930 - Alfred Fritsche built the current inn. 1934 - Electric light was used for the first time on the Plattenbödeli, powered by a single-cylinder diesel engine and an Örlikon battery. 1958 - Son Hans and Alice Fritsche-Holderegger bought the business. To remedy the water shortage, a 1000m long pipe was laid from the Alp Rainhütte through the lake. The spring is 60m higher than the Plattenbödeli and thus the water flows into the reservoir with counter pressure. The diesel system was enlarged and a dishwasher and a washing machine were installed. 1964 - The mule track through the Brüeltobel is expanded as a road. 1971 - The kitchen is added, the toilet facilities are converted and the restaurant with a self-service buffet is renovated. The main entrance is moved to the sunny side and the terrace is extended. A separate sewage treatment plant is built and the diesel system is renewed. 2022 - Alois and Manuela Inauen Sager purchase the mountain inn.
