Innsbruck-Vorarlberg-Einsiedeln

On this route, pilgrims coming from Vorarlberg or Tyrol reach St. Peterzell. There they meet the Swiss Way of St. James ("St. Gallen Way" - Via Jacobi No. 4). This starts from Rorschach and leads to Einsiedeln. At an average elevation of 800 meters, Appenzellerland is characterized by a hilly landscape characterized by pastures and scattered villages. This sparsely populated cultural landscape, far from the hustle and bustle of stressful mass tourism, is particularly suitable for pilgrims seeking peace and time for inner contemplation. The small, rural villages along the route, with their colorfully painted wooden houses typical of the region, invite you to linger and meet the hardworking and tradition-conscious people. The uniqueness of the Way of St. James through Appenzellerland invites not only reflection but also walking barefoot.
