 | | Appenzell, the capital of Appenzell Innerrhoden, is the hilly region between Lake Constance and the Santis, the mountains of eastern Switzerland. |
 | | "Appenzell's characteristics are its gaily painted houses, the grouping of Appenzell Innerrhoden farmhouses, local art with farming and religious subjects, Alpine customs and traditions, and the landsgemeinde (electoral meeting) held on the last Sunday in April," said Stefan. |
 | | Appenzell joined the Swiss Confederation as its 13th member and was divided into two independent half cantons in 1597. |
