BERLIN 鈥� One of Switzerland鈥檚 most picturesque restaurants will soon be looking for a new operator.
The Gasthaus Aescher, built into a cliff above a valley in northeastern Switzerland, has been run by the same family since 1987. It gained recognition outside the Alpine nation when it was featured on the cover of a National Geographic book of Destinations of a Lifetime in 2016.
Authorities in Appenzell Innerrhoden canton said Monday that the current tenants, Nicole and Bernhard Knechtle-Fritsche, are giving up the lease at the end of the 2018 season. The restaurant opens from May until the beginning of November.
