Circular hike starting from Wasserauen: an ascent to the tranquil Sämtisersee, passing by the magnificent Fählensee, then climbing to the spectacular Saxer Lücke, which offers exceptional views of the Alpstein. The route then descends towards the Seealpsee before returning to Wasserauen. This is a challenging hike through some of Switzerland’s most beautiful landscapes.

Departure from Schwende (Appenzell Innerrhoden)
Almost all of the elevation gain is in the first two kilometres. Your efforts will be rewarded once you reach the lake. A peaceful and relaxing spot, with views of Santis and Ebenalp among others, which will make you forget the tingling in your thighs.
