Oberegg: Sankt Antonstrasse
Oberegg stands on the rolling foothills of the Alpstein in Appenzell Innerrhoden, Switzerland, where dairy farmland and woodland cover a rural plateau above the Rhine Valley. Sankt Antonstrasse passes through a dispersed settlement of farmsteads and houses rather than a compact urban centre. Oberegg is an exclave of Appenzell Innerrhoden, separated from the rest of the canton by neighbouring territory, a distinctive detail of eastern Switzerland’s political geography. The wider Appenzell region is closely associated with dairy farming and Appenzeller cheese. Its built character includes substantial timber farmhouses with broad roofs, set among working fields, lanes and wooded slopes.

Set in the rolling Appenzell hills, the settlement looks toward the Rhine Valley while the Alpstein range rises farther southwest. Pastures and dairy farming remain central to the local setting, connecting Oberegg with the Appenzeller cheese tradition associated with this canton.
