Niklaus Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Romanesque chapel largely in its original state. The building, built around 1200, is one of the oldest in the Canton of Zurich. Unfortunately finished.

Altberg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is located on the Altberg at 630 meters and packs another 30 meters on top. You reach the observation deck over 147 steps - at the top you have in good weather a breathtaking view of the warehouses, to Zurich and up to the peaks of the Alps.

Next to the tower is the Waldschänke, where you can treat yourself to a refreshment and strengthen yourself. It is open every day, except Tuesdays.

A great view. We were in December and there was a lot going on there. I can imagine that summer is really full.

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The way up to the inn is also lined with its formation over 100 years and is very interesting.
