An old refuge at the top of the Rhinsberg (in fact, it makes the mountain a little higher). There is no official way up. However, it has a clearly visible beaten path, which, however, is lost on the northern foothills of the refuge in the forest.

The height fortification Rhinsberg, referred to on the national map as a prehistoric fortification, is a late Bronze Age hill fort, of which the hill can still be seen today.

You can easily walk along this hill without any problems and imagine a little bit of the ösltichen inner courtyard.

Sure, don't expect stones, walls or anything else (stone was only used by the Romans anyway) but I think the highlight is important from a historical point of view.

There is also a watchtower ruin on the Rhinsberg. It was used by the canton of Zurich until the 19th century, but today only the stone foundations can be seen.
