Schwellbrunn

Schwellbrunn lies on the rolling foothills of the Alpstein range in Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Switzerland, where pastureland rises toward the Säntis massif. At nearly 1,000 metres above sea level, it is the canton’s highest village, set above the lower valleys of northeastern Switzerland. Its compact centre preserves traditional Appenzell houses, while the Reformed church remains a defining part of the settlement. Dairy farming shapes the surrounding countryside and connects Schwellbrunn with the wider Appenzell tradition behind Appenzeller cheese. Footpaths lead across open meadows and wooded slopes, making the village a fitting place to explore the pre-Alpine landscape at an unhurried pace.
