 Eastern Switzerland is extended from the sparkling waters of Lake Constance across the gentle pastures of the Appenzellerland to the Alpine landscape of Toggernburg, the Heidiland holiday region and the Glarnerland. Nestling in the Northern corner of the Switzerland where Switzerland meets Germany and Austria, the Appenzellerland is blessed with the abundance of natural beauty and is a paradise for spirited walkers and nature loving ramblers. Spreading across the 1,200 Km it is one of the prettiest regions in Switzerland. It has clearly marked trails that offer a broad selection for walks for every one. Toggenburg lies between the mountain ranges of Säntis and Churfirsten. It is only an hour drive from Zurich or Lake Constance. It has a wide range of themed walks and about 187 miles of scenic hiking trails. And if you are moving towards Heidi the other major tourist attraction then follow the Heidi’s footsteps and relive the stories by the Swiss author Johanny Spyri in the romantic Heidiland located between the Lake Walen and the spa town of Bad Ragaz. If you are looking for a picture perfect region where you spend a perfect holiday then Glarnerland is a perfect picnic jaunt for you.
