| Appenzell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (990 words) |
 | Appenzell (or Appenzellerland) is a region in the northeast of Switzerland, entirely surrounded by the Canton of St. Gallen. |
| Appenzell became a full member of the confederation in 1513, and religious divisions resulting from the Protestant Reformation culminated in a split in 1597 between the Catholic Innerrhoden and Protestant Ausserrhoden. |
| Appenzell is an alpine region, particularly in the south, where the Alpstein limestone range (culminating in the Säntis, 8216 ft.)is found, though towards the north the surface is composed rather of green hills, separating green hollows in which nestle neat villages and small towns. |
