Which lake is this?
I did a 4.5 day hike with a group of friends a few years back in Appenzell and it's probably my favorite trip I've ever done.
Doeeme OP t1_j5y5fvr wrote
It's lake Fälensee!
axxl75 t1_j5y6wqt wrote
Yeah that's what I thought! We had dinner one of the days at Berggasthaus Bollenwees which is right on the end of that lake. When we were there the lake was like 90% dry though so it definitely didn't look like that, but the valley looked very familiar.
Great photos.

There is this mountain range called Alpstein in Appenzell, consisting of lots of peaks and 3 absolutely beautiful lakes (the one on the picture being one of them). If you have time and some good hiking boots, you must go on some hikes there!

I'm American and it's one of my dreams to go to Switzerland and just explore the Swiss Alps. But due to cost restraints and now having kids, I don't know that I'll ever be able to visit them. Pictures like this are as close as I may ever get. Thank you for this beautiful picture.

TG is great, beautiful farmland and rolling hills, and far away from the crowded cities and the tourist places. I've spent a lot of time there visiting friends. But oh my, I don't know how you survive November to January with about 2 sunny days per month. I guess I am spoiled living in the Sunshine State...

Honestly, knowing how many people go fishing without ever managing to fish anything, they might as well just sit on the shoreline with a stick in their hands and no fishing line or hook.

Reminds me of the Lake District in England. I visited with the husband. I warned him not to get to close the water because the ground might be soft. He didn't listen and tried to take a picture and fell on his butt. The driver on the tour tried to help brush him off.
