Travel guide Appenzell 
Appenzell : The Michelin guide review
Set in the Alpstein's green pastoral foothills, Appenzel is neither a village nor a town, but a " Flecken " (German term for a town and country community). Appenzel means "Abbatis cella" or Abbey cell, and stems from the early settlement of St Gall monks in the area.
