    Hiking

    Most important place on the pilgrimage in Switzerland. An impressive place with a magnificent cathedral and monastery. The evening Vespers service with Ave Maria is a must - the chants and organ music followed by a pilgrimage is a highly spiritual experience - even or especially if you don't think much of spirituality.

    Be sure to spend the night in the monastery hostel. The monks' cells are spartan and nevertheless very impressive and appear with an unbelievable calmness. The pilgrim's stamp with the black Madonna is a must and is available at the hostel reception.

    magnificent baroque church building
    The magnificent church building was planned and executed by our brother Br. Kaspar Moosbrugger and decorated by the important baroque artists Ägid Quirin Asam and Cosmas Damian Asam (1719-1735). The monastery church is dedicated to the Mother of God Mary (patronage on August 15th) and Saint Mauritius (feast day on September 22nd).

    Marstall, Benedictine Abbey - Einsiedeln Abbey
    The baroque stables of the monastery, built in 1765, house the oldest still existing stud farm in Europe, which has its beginnings in the 15th century. The horses bred, the Cavalli della Madonna, are warm-blooded. The first handwritten reference to horse breeding can be found in the granting of rights by King Henry IV on February 24, 1064. The continued existence of horse breeding seems to be endangered today.
