There are a few steps to climb to get to the basilica. It is worth it ..

The staircase from the monastery to Altdorf is said to have been built in 1430 by Abbot Johann II. Blarer (1418-1437). Until 1806, the staircase also marked the border between the two independent states, the Imperial Free State of Weingarten and the Austrian Landvogtei of Swabia, which included Altdorf.
