Circular route Schwändi

The route from Altendorf on Lake Zurich up to Einsiedeln was formerly an intensively used pilgrim path. According to stories, the path over the Etzel to the monastery village was mainly used by pilgrims from southern Germany. The path is still lined with chapels, wayside shrines, as well as dry stone walls. These strongly highlight the former significance of this path. Today, this route is considered a historic traffic route of national importance.
