Einsiedeln is located to the south of Lake Zurich. The Sihlsee reservoir is located in the high valley in the municipality. A 33 m high and 124 m long dam wall dams the water of the Sihl river here. With an area of 10.72 km², the Sihlsee is the largest reservoir in Switzerland in terms of surface area. Einsiedeln is best known for the monastery located here and its Black Madonna. The monastery is a stop on the Way of St. James.
“It was a fabulous day starting with a boat trip up the lake to Vitznau, then stepping onto the train up to Rigi Kaltbad. The mineral baths were totally relaxing, from the bubble pools to the stunning outdoor views, plus the herbal steam room, mineral pool tranquility and sauna. A truly sensational day.”
“A great idea, very well executed and presented.
It’s frustrating that I can’t see what I’ve already written here!!
I would have liked to hear more about nightlife back then. What happened to the sick or women in labour? What about runaway children or raging epidemics at night?
But it was great, thank you very much!!”
