April 21, 2022,Rundwanderung Heiden - Kaienspitz - Hängebrücke Grub und wo früher die feine Welt kurte
Very beautiful and varied circular hike from a free hiking car park with the first destination of the tour, the Kaienspitz. The Kaien is a 1120 meter high mountain in the Appenzeller Vorderland and the summit is called the Kaienspitz. You can enjoy a wonderful all-round panorama and there is a nice fireplace and a covered rest area.
