Hundwil

Hundwil is best known within Appenzell Ausserrhoden for hosting the canton’s Landsgemeinde, its traditional open-air citizens’ assembly, until 1997. The compact settlement sits in the rolling Appenzell hills near the Urnäsch river, with the Säntis massif rising to the south. Its place in Swiss political history is tangible: for generations, voters gathered here in the open to decide cantonal business by a show of hands. Timber farmhouses and pastureland around the village reflect the agricultural character of this northeastern Swiss canton, while routes through the hills connect it with the broader Appenzell region.
