Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Aescher Guesthouse?

Berggasthaus Aescher-Wildkirchli is a historic guesthouse built into a cliff ledge in the Alpstein range above Wasserauen, Appenzell, Switzerland. Operating since 1857, it is one of the most photographed alpine buildings in the world and is reached via cable car to Ebenalp followed by a 15-minute walk.

What does this print show?

The print captures the Aescher Guesthouse on its dramatic cliff ledge in the Appenzell Alpstein — photographed from below to reveal the full scale of its extraordinary position above the valley.

What are the Wildkirchli caves below the Aescher Guesthouse?

The Wildkirchli caves are a series of limestone caverns directly below the Aescher Guesthouse that were inhabited by hermit monks from the 17th century onwards. Archaeological excavations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries revealed evidence of Neanderthal occupation dating back approximately 40,000 years — making the caves one of the most significant prehistoric sites in Switzerland. A small chapel built by the hermit monks still stands within the cave system.
