Wildkirchli - Cave Attractions

From Appenzell there is a cableway to Ebenalp (1,644 m/5,394ft; inn), from which it is a 10-minute walk down through a 75 m/82yd-long cavern to the Wildkirchli (1,477 m/4,864ft; inn), a chapel in a cave which was inhabited by hermits from 1658 to 1853. In 1904 Palaeolithic implements and animal skeletons were found here. From Wasserauen there is a pleasant walk (one hour) to the Seealpsee (1,141 m/3,745ft) and from there to the Meglisalp (1,520 m/4,987ft; inn) with its little church of "Maria zum Schnee".
