On the rocks!
Säntis is among the most prominent mountain summits of Europe and it tops Canton Appenzeller (CH)
That means, despite its 2,501 m.s.l., it feels higher because isolated from neighboring mountain ranges.
The seven Churfisten peaks are frontal to the Säntis terrace
Plenty of time for shooting pictures before going down.
