    The Etzelwerk was built in Altendorf between 1932 and 1937. This power plant supplies traction current for the Swiss Federal Railways. The water comes from Lake Sihl. This reservoir is the largest reservoir in Switzerland in terms of area.

    There is a winch railway beneath Bilsten Water Castle. In recent years, only the upper part of the funicular has been in operation. Trips take place very rarely. Since April 20, 2016, this funicular has only been approved for transporting materials.

    Here a short trail leads through the forest and then a gravel road to below the Meinradspass (there are several gates to pass when cattle are being driven through).
