From May to September, the market takes place every last Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Landsgemeindeplatz (town square). The market women promote the vibrancy of the village of Trogen, social interaction, and the coming together of young and old from near and far.

Not only does the Gäbris have a truly luxurious barbecue area, but also the great view down into the Rhine valley and beyond from the summit (transmission mast).

It's the Landsgemeindeplatz in Trogen. Appenzell has its own Landsgemeindeplatz 😀
