Walking along the ridge line from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock is one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring walks I have completed; the scenery here dwarfs that of the Lake District, and most places you're able to walk in the UK. Riding the fernicular at 110% is also an incredible experience - what a superb feat of engineering. From there, we took the chairlift to Klingenstock and then began our walk along the ridge line. You can walk the other way but this way is arguably the more challenging and more rewarding - the view before us was much better than that behind us. It's a truly breathtaking and wonderful view but it does come with a hefty price tag - the fernicular and access to the chair lifts aren't cheap. Take your own lunch to save some pennies!

This 1,000-year-old monastery a short drive from the city is home to the Black Madonna Shrine, an important pilgrimage destination.

Kloster Einsiedeln (Einsiedeln Abbey and Monastery) is located about 19 miles southeast of Zürich in the town of Einsiedeln. It was founded by the Benedictine monk Saint Meinrad about 835 and is considered an important site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage in Switzerland. After the canonization of Meinrad in 1039, Saint Meinrad’s relics and remains were transferred from Reichenau to Einsiedeln, and the abbey’s importance as a place of worship and pilgrimage continued to grow. Original structures burned and foundations for a new church were laid in 1718. Additions and restorations have been made over the years. At the time of our visit, extensive renovation of the square in front of the church was on-going. They took care to create walkways for visitors to the church. There are public restroom facilities on site as well as a gift shop. Photos are not allowed inside the church, but books, postcards and other memorabilia are available in the shop at reasonable prices. There was no charge for visiting the church or attached stables.

Great place to buy Swiss Knifes or even have one custom made. The museum was interesting while we waited on our knifes.

4.5 based on 15 reviews
Die Seebodenalp liegt auf 1020 m.ü.M. hoch über Küssnacht am Rigi und ist mit dem herrlichen Blick auf den Vierwaldstättersee an 365 Tagen im Jahr ein Wanderparadies. Leichte bis mittlere Wanderungen und ein vielfältiges Restaurant- und Alpwirtschaftsangebot für jeden Geschmack sind garantiert. Beliebt ist ebenfalls der Aufstieg von der Seebodenalp auf die Rigi, welcher auf vielen verschiedenen Wanderwegen erlebt werden kann. Mehrere Grillplätze laden zum Verweilen ein. Bänke und Sitzgelegenheiten sind bei den Feuerstellen vorhanden und das Holz wird durch die Kooperation bereitgestellt – teilweise sind auch Grillroste installiert. Im Winter, bei genügend Schnee, ist der Skilift Seebodenalp und der Kinderschlepplift bei der Holderenhütte ein Geheimtipp. Für Gruppen, Firmen und Vereine haben wir viele Interessante Packages - von der Brauereibesichtigung bis zur Sonnenuntergangswanderung.

For me, the barrel-shaped carriage is the highlight but not the steepness. The design of these bright yellow carriages is so cool. They look like a caterpillar or a multi-cylinder whistle but certainly not like a funicular. The carriages rotate to maintain a level floor surface for passengers. So I didn’t feel the inclination at all inside the carriage. We took this caterpillar-like funicular to Stoos where we changed to take a ski lift reaching Klingenstock. From there we started the hike for two hours along the mountain range to reach Fronalstock. The scenery en route was beautiful. On the left is Lake Lucerne and on the right is Grosser Mythen (1898m) and Kleiner Mythen (1810m). The countless colourful wild flowers along the track further made the hike relaxing and enjoyable.
