The church tower of Saint-Etienne was once an integral part of the fortifications. Easily recognizable by its solid construction and the loopholes on the sides. In the tower passage there is an interesting information board stating that Wolfgang Amadé Mozart and his family stopped in Moudon in 1766 on their journey through Switzerland.

Update [January 2025 + April 2025] Log dump at the bottom of the trail, impossible to cross by bike (and difficult on foot) ⚠ Caution! [August 2024] Two trenches have been dug at the very end of the trail, the first just after the drop and the second just before reaching the path. Passable, but be careful depending on your speed.

Magnificent place from which you can imagine the history of Moudon from the edge of the Broye and its wooden bridge.
