We will meet at the train station Wasserauen and immediately head to the Seealpsee. Seealpsee is a famous lake in the Appenzell region, surrounded by tall, spiky mountain peaks. The fall colors usually start in early October, with the trees around the lake turning a deep red, reflected in the calm waters. It is a perfect time to visit! This is a photography-friendly tour, which means we will take our time and try to find some good spots around the lake. After we get our shots, we plan to hike up to the Guesthouse Aescher, where we will stop by for a well deserved drink and/or food. From there we will take the gondola back down to Wasserauen. The hike is of moderate difficulty. Anyone can head back to the station after seeing the lake, without going up to Aescher.📍 Key Details
