Ran the Appenzeller Alpenweg again today, one of my easy-going standard runs. No particular difficulties, really easy, and pleasantly uncrowded during the week.
I wouldn't recommend following my exact trace though, I lost track once or twice and had to add some extra meters due to a road closure for woodwork.
Better option: check out the official route of these two day-hikes combined into one day’s trail on their website.
