Descrizione
Discover eastern Switzerland in one day: admire St. Gallen’s UNESCO Abbey Library, ride mountain railways, wander Appenzell’s colorful villages & enjoy a cheese tasting — guided by a local geographer.
Join me on an unforgettable journey by public transport through Eastern Switzerland. Your adventure begins in St. Gallen, visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Stiftsbezirk and the world-famous Abbey Library – a treasure of history and culture.
From there, we glide up the hillside on a charming funicular, then continue by train into Appenzell’s rolling green hills. Along the way, we stop at a traditional cheese factory to see how the region’s world-renowned cheese is crafted – and taste it!
In the afternoon, we stroll through Appenzell’s picture-perfect old town with its colorful painted houses. Highlights continue with a mountain railway and cogwheel train ride, offering spectacular views of the Alps and valleys.
To round off the day Swiss-style, we enjoy a delightful meal aboard a train restaurant, combining local flavors with the magic of traveling on rails. This tour blends culture, tradition, and breathtaking landscapes – all accessible by public transport.
