Hiking

The parish church of St. Antonius is one of the most striking places of worship in the canton of Schwyz. The foundation stone was laid in 1873. After a long construction period, today's parish church was inaugurated in 1940. The mighty chandelier of Napoleon III. from the Einsiedeln monastery church divides the wide space in an advantageous way. What is striking is the size of the church with the towering church tower and the colorful inscriptions on the roof: “Saint Antonius, pray for us,” it says on the north side of the church roof.
By Albert Marty.

Amazingly large church with an interesting roof. With the help of light bricks, a call to St. Anthony is immortalized in the roof.

And the best thing about it: This church can be seen from afar, so that it is difficult to get lost even when hiking. Especially recommended: A high moor hike in winter - pure romance!
