Holiday home Naturtraum

We rent out a natural holiday home in the middle of the Appenzell Ausserrhodian countryside in Heiden. Haus Altenstein is located a few hundred metres from Heiden "City" as the crow flies, at an altitude of approx. 900 m above sea level in the wonderful natural surroundings of the Appenzeller Vorderland. Our Haus Altenstein was completely renovated in 2009 and has now become a cosy, homely yet modern 3 1/2-room Appenzeller cottage. It is situated in a somewhat secluded location on the hills to the west of Heiden with a marvellous view of Lake Constance and the hilly Appenzell Vorderland forest landscape. On the ground floor of the house there is a beautiful kitchen, a dining area, the living room and a bathroom (shower and WC). On the upper floor there is a bedroom and 2-4 beds in the anteroom. The house has a 1500 square metre natural forest, meadow and garden area for children and dogs to run around in or just to relax. We are happy to rent the house to families with "Hond und Chend" (dog and children), business people and simply to all people who would like to enjoy this peace and nature, want to distance themselves from the stressful everyday life and simply want to experience an unforgettable nature holiday --> have a look at our new winter offer on our homepage Naturtraum.ch <--

Other sports and leisure activities: Electric biking, hiking, Nordic walking, mountain bike tours, swimming, (mini)golf: the Appenzellerland offers a wide range of possibilities for varied holidays. Culturally, there are various interesting museums and cheese dairies to choose from. In winter, tranquillity is the order of the day instead of exhilarating après-ski. Various toboggan runs, friendly little ski areas and cross-country skiing centres guarantee real winter fun. Those looking for relaxation will find what they are looking for at the Herisau sports centre or the Unterrechstein spa. Not forgetting all the cosy (mountain) restaurants serving Appenzell specialities. Various events with lots of traditional customs round off the offer.
