Sihlsee and Viaduct View

Highlight • Lake

The outskirts are on the Sihlsee, near the front viaduct.

Tip by

4.65 km

The Sihlsee is the largest reservoir in Switzerland in terms of area, but due to its shallow depth it does not have a very large volume. There are many opportunities for biking and hiking on both sides of the lake. The lake tour is popular with racing cyclists.

Einsiedeln Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Most important place on the pilgrimage in Switzerland. An impressive place with a magnificent cathedral and monastery. The evening Vespers service with Ave Maria is a must - the chants and organ music followed by a pilgrimage is a highly spiritual experience - even or especially if you don't think much of spirituality.

Be sure to spend the night in the monastery hostel. The monks' cells are spartan and nevertheless very impressive and appear with an unbelievable calmness. The pilgrim's stamp with the black Madonna is a must and is available at the hostel reception.
