SWITZERLAND BY RAIL - REGIONS
Eastern Switzerland & Liechtenstein
Eastern Switzerland is more technically the north of the country as the
southern Engadine is farther to the east. The Eastern Switzerland region
stretches bwlow the from the waters of Lake Constance from the Rheinfalls
at Schaffhausen, the shore villages of the lake sreved by the Turbo
train and Lake Constance Cruise boats, to the Austrian border, across
the rolling hills of the Appenzellerland and includes the Alpine landscapes
where the story of Hiedi was born, now a holiday region branded as
Heidiland and the ancient abbey town of St Gallen with its one of a
kind Baroque Library. For tourism, even though its a separate country
acroass the Rhine River valley, the little Principality of Liechtenstein
with its capital of Vaduz and mountain resort area of Malbun are joined
with Eastern Switzerland.
Lake Constance & Appenzellerland
Cycling along the signposted network of cycle trails on the relative
flat lands touring the little villages along the lake makes for some
of the most casual biking in Switzerland, or you can test yourself on
a mountain bike in the Appenzellerland. This region offers some special
attractions from families with children, exploring the mystic beauty
of Toggenburg, the storybook tale of the Heidi above the resort of Bad
Ragaz, the Dwarf Baartli fun stations in Braunwald or the eagles of the
raptor show at Malbun.
Hikers may appreciate the mountain guesthouses
of the Alpstein Region. Culture lovers will find a stay in St Gallen,
ith its Unesco World Heritage Baroque basilica and museum of textiles
enticing. Or discover the waterfalls of the mighty Rhine River at Schaffhausen
with its wonderful old town below the unique round castle fortress of
Munot. In winter, the regions of Eastern Switzerlaand offers some of
the best family friendly skiing and boarding, without some of the higher
prices of the higher Alps - Flumserberg winter sports resort between
Zurich and Chur, the Pizol skiing area of Heidiland, fog-free valley
of Säntis and Churfirsten, car-free Braunwald, and Leichtenstein‘s
Malbun, especially attractive for families with its bowl shape where
all the trails lead back to home.
