Unterwasser
Unterwasser is a small village in the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. It is part of the municipality of Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann. It is a relatively small ski resort, and many of its trails are shared with the nearby village of Wildhaus. Unterwasser in English means "underwater" (and may be so translated in automatic translations), but in this context means "between the waters" as two rivers run through the village.
Alpstein
The Alpstein are a subgroup of the Appenzell Alps in Switzerland. The Alpstein massif is in Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and St. Gallen. Despite it being rather low when compared to other Alpine peaks - the highest mountain is the Säntis at 2502 metres - the Alpstein, due to their northern "outpost" position only a short distance from Lake Constance (nearly 30 km) are relatively tall when compared to the surrounding area.
Säntis transmitter
The Säntis transmitter is a 123.5 m (405.3 ft) high transmitting station on the summit of the 2,502 m (8,209 ft) high Säntis mountain in Switzerland. It is operated by Swisscom. The original tower was built in 1955, but due to the extreme weather at such a high altitude, it had to be repeatedly rebuilt. Finally in 1997, a completely new tower has been built which is specifically suited to the icy temperatures.
These are some bigger and more relevant cities in the wider vivinity of Wis.
