Wildkirchli - mystical journey through time
The Wildkirchli, consisting of three caves, is located below the Ebenalp in the Alpstein in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden. One of these caves, the Wildkirchli cave with the St. Michael chapel, is on the list of cultural assets of national importance in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden.
(firmenpresse) - In 1904, prehistoric finds of cavemen were made in these caves. The St. Gallen natural scientist Emil Bächler discovered worked stones, tools and bones that can be dated to between 50,000 and 30,000 BC.
These finds prove that Neanderthals lived in the Alpstein mountains at that time and made the Wildkirchli famous worldwide. In addition to these discoveries, traces of cave bears that lived in the caves from 90,000 BC were also found. The finds are exhibited both in a hermit’s hut in the Wildkirchli, which was rebuilt in 1972, and in the Appenzell Museum.
One of the three caves was converted into an altar cave by hermits who lived in the caves from 1658 to 1853. This impressive sanctuary still bears witness to the piety of the hermits and is used for religious services. The hermits lived in another cave during the summer, while the third cave now houses the mountain inn.
The Wildkirchli is a fascinating place that has both historical and spiritual significance. Visitors can explore the caves, enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain landscape and immerse themselves in the rich heritage and history of this unique place.
