Description
The Ermitage, the largest English garden in Switzerland, invites discovery. You can't get lost; it's worth just letting yourself drift. The cherry trees on the Schönmatt are a spectacle during the blossoming season. The view from the Gempenturm on clear days stretches from the Black Forest over the Vosges, to the city of Basel, the Jura, and even to the Alps. The ruin Dorneck invites you to linger, and the distinctive shape of the Goetheanum is worth seeing. A varied hike for every season.
