Hiking

The largest alphorn in the world belongs to the Rottum Valley alphorn player. It has found its firm place: it hangs under the canopy of "Schäfer's Café" in the immediate vicinity of the monastery Ochsenhausen. The playable musical instrument is 26.46 meters long and weighs 92.5 kilograms.

The point is wrong. The alphorn is much higher up, opposite the convent in the cafe on the street.

Registered in the Guinness Book of Records and actually playable (incredible!). The thing has truly enormous dimensions! Incidentally, in the inn, under the roof of which the alphorn hangs, you can have a great snack or drink a beer.
