Nice path above the Töss

Highlight • Trail

I saw the path from the nearby road once, so I just had to go and take a look. The path between the tracks and the nearby abyss is really special.

Irchel Tower

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful view of the wine country and with a clear view of the Alps. The view compensates for the steep ascent by bike to the foot of the tower. For the hungry, it has two fireplaces and different seating.
