2015: Innerrhoden’s scattered agricultural settlements

Appenzell’s sparsely populated landscape is one of the most distinctive Swiss flagship landscapes. Although the houses appear to be placed at random at first glance, they were in fact purposely built in the locations on which families depended for their livelihood. The landscape represents the traditions, regional architecture and rural-agricultural character of Switzerland.

2011: Val Sinestra

The lower part of Val Sinestra is an eroded valley with densely wooded, steep slopes and sometimes hard to reach sides. The landscape opens up in the upper part of the valley, alternating between forests, meadows and pastures. Val Sinestra is known not only for its mineral springs, but also for the impressive natural earth pyramids below Prà San Peder and the incredible variety of flora. The wildly romantic Val Sinestra is a delight for hikers.
