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.

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.
