Berggasthaus Aescher-Wildkirchl

Welcome y'all

Nowhere else in Switzerland is the change from the hilly landscape of Central 
Switzerland to the craggy alpine scenery so abrupt or impressive as in the Alpstein area. Mighty rock formations up to more than 2500 m high tower up as if from nowhere. Deep, steep-sided valleys cut through this region.He challenging walk from Wasserauen up to the Ebenalp offers spectacular views of this fascinating hiking area. After the first climb, you reach the picturesque Seealp lake, with, behind it, the mighty Säntis mountain. However, the undisputed high point of this route is the Äscher mountain restaurant. The restaurant is in the most precarious position, clinging to the foot of a vertical cliff face a good 100 m high. The walk begins at Wasserauen station and leads first up quite a steep path to the Seealpsee. The tour round the lake which follows gives you plenty of time to admire the beautiful scenery. Then the climb up from the Seealpsee to the Äscher really shows what you are made of. The mountain path goes up steeply along the slope and is quite tricky. Finally, after the Äscher mountain restaurant, a rocky path leads on up to the Ebenalp with its fantastic views. Then the cable-car takes you back down to the valley in just a few minutes.
The view on the mountain restaurant aescher won a price of national geographics because it looks so special. It deserves this price. It is also a beautiful hike up there. We would recommend the hike instead of talking the cableway. The food in the restaurant is great as well.One of the best places you will ever find. He aerial cableway will take you from Wasserauen into one of the most beautiful areas in the Alpstein. From the extensive high plateau with a rich alpine flora you will get a magnificent view across the Appenzell hill-landscape, Sankt Gall, Thurgau and Lake Constance. And to the west and south the picturesque panorama of the Alpstein mountain chain will open up before you.
