If you walk along the beach path between Rapperswil-Jona and Schmerikon, you will see the beautiful complex right on the shore of Upper Lake Zurich. The Cistercian abbey Mariazell Wurmsbach is a small, very diverse world, it consists of monastery buildings, guest house, leased business and school premises.
