Hiking

One of the four fortified churches in Switzerland - but the only one that is completely enclosed by the curtain wall. The church can be visited freely during the day as long as there is no event. The other fortified churches are: Boswil (Canton Aargau), Weiach and Schönenberg (Canton Zurich).
