Teufen

Teufen straddles a ridge between the Sitter and Goldach valleys in Appenzell Ausserrhoden, a position that places it in the northern foothills of the Appenzell Alps and on the route between St Gallen and Appenzell. The Appenzell Railways line serves the village, linking it directly with both places while the surrounding terrain remains distinctly rural. Teufen’s built fabric combines compact village streets with traditional Appenzell houses, and Zeughaus Teufen, a former armoury, now hosts exhibitions devoted to art and architecture. Local paths cross open pastureland towards the rolling uplands rather than Switzerland’s high Alpine resorts. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Teufen and Appenzell Ausserrhoden.
