Hoher Kasten

Perhaps I'm avoiding cycling because I'll be saturated in two weeks. On Sunday I joined a friend for a 14km hike up the Hoher Kasten (1782m) in Appenzellerland. We started in Brulisau (823m) and completed the circuit in five hours. It was overcast and we were completely in the clouds when we reached the summit. The sky cleared as we hiked down and opened to a gorgeous panoramic view over Appenzell. It was perfect and my sore legs are reminding me of it.
