Easter Hike from Trogen to Appenzell

Join us on the hike from Trogen to Appenzell! It's the second stage of the Alpine Panorama Trail that leads from Rorschach all across Switzerland to Geneva. For a precise description including pictures see https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-3/stage-2. The picture in the description shows Appenzell in winter 2021 (it's the only one I had from Appenzell). I don't expect any snow there at the moment. However, there might be some snow patches on the way.

MEETING:
Meeting point is in Zurich main station under the blue angel at 10 am. Be aware that I will join you in Winterthur. I'll meet you in the last coach of second class in direction of travel.
