Knochenstampfe Küssnacht Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Bone stomp, Küssnacht
The pounding of bones with the water wheel and the idyllic pond at the foot of the Gesslerburg.
In 1877 a shed was built at the foot of the Gesslerburg ruins. At that time, a meat leg grinder, a grater and a band saw were installed. The drive was provided by the overshot water wheel. The water was supplied from a pond above the stamp. The bone meal was a sought-after fertilizer. In the course of time there were several changes of hands. The building served as a wine and beverage store and later as a storage room for the water supply.
Today, a Küssnacht senior group is responsible for the professional execution of work and the operation of the bone crusher. In 1996 the water supply was rebuilt. In 1998 the replica of the bone pounder took place. The water wheel was renewed in 2015 and presented prominently and with great pride at the Küssnacht trade exhibition.

Seebodenalp Cable Car Mountain Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Mountain station of the cable car that connects Küssnacht with Seebodenalp.

The first cable car was inaugurated on August 7, 1954, and to this day the trip to the nearby nature reserve is very popular not only with the people of Küssnacht, but also with many guests from near and far. The beautiful view over Lake Lucerne with a view of Pilatus and Lake Zug also delights regular guests time and time again.
