The old bridge / alti Brugg, which leads over the Töss. With a river slope and a small footpath under the bridge, for a leisurely hike if you want to avoid the village center.

Nice view and great barbecue area. At the same time the castle site for the former high watch, one of many in this area.

Irchel Tower

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful view of the wine country and with a clear view of the Alps. The view compensates for the steep ascent by bike to the foot of the tower. For the hungry, it has two fireplaces and different seating.
