Berghaus Ascher (1454m) -> Fuessler -> Altenalp (1600m). Slippery, muddy hohenweg. Overcast, sometimes in clouds. Peaceful and beautiful.
Then steep downhill back to Seealpsee (lake) down face of several cliffs -> Wasserauen (876m).
About 7 hilly miles, but body acclimatizing to elevation, jet lag, etc.
Showered and drove to Appenzell -> St Gallen. Stocked up on some food and walked around town.
Weather forecast still wet and some snow on Santis.
Since our first long hike was to be over the summit of Santis over to Wildhaus, and we don't have adequate gear for the conditions, decided to check out the next day and move on to sunny Engadin area.
