Bischofberger Appenzeller Bärli-Biber Bakery

Highlight • Cafe

The original from Weissbad in Appenzell! The Bärli-Biber or s'Biberli, as I personally call it, is probably known by every Swiss person. It is made here in Weissbad – the recipe dates back to a tradition of over 500 years, wow!

If you come by here on your bike, you can boost your sugar levels again in the shop and the Bärli-Biber-Welt. Here you get the freshest Biberli straight from the oven!

Information about opening hours can be found here: baerli-biber.ch/Kontakt/Laden

Leuenfall Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

If you have time, you can reach the waterfall from below by the stream, which results in different and worth seeing angles. As Christian Schwick and Florian Spichtig write in their book “Die Wasserfälle der Schweiz”, the Leuenfall is a “free falling waterfall”, in contrast to cascading falls like the Rhine Falls. You describe the Wissbachtal with the Leuenfall as a “dreamlike pre-alpine landscape” that was used by Swiss television for advertising purposes. In addition, Felix Lämmler from Sankt Gallen achieved the impossible on January 2, 2007 and went down the Leuenfall in a canoe. What you can actually not imagine, you face the Leuenfall. With this, Lämmler exceeded the world record for falling waterfalls by four meters, but later his performance was downgraded to a European record. Another anecdote: Because Felix Lämmler set the world record alone and without witnesses, he was initially doubted, and ten days later he drove the Leuenfall a second time in front of cameras. In the case of a leuka, there is also the possibility of having a picnic with a fire in the warmer season.
