Top 5 Caves ネフテンバッハでの

During our visit, the path to the cave was unfortunately closed due to woodwork.

beautiful hike, well-developed path - cave can be climbed

Wonderful geological and botanical feature. With a detour from the hiking trail you can make a spectacular loop under the rocks and in the special flora. You can then climb up again on a stairway to the hiking trail in the direction of Hochwacht.

Interesting impression that the route gives you.

Geologically remarkable spring that rises directly from the sandstone rock in a cave. The name has been documented since 1327 and commemorates the Irish monk Pirmin († 753), founder of the Reichenau monastery and patron saint of the old Pfungen parish church. According to tradition, he stayed in the area and is said to have settled temporarily at this or a neighboring spring. Support for the cave ceiling and access rebuilt in 1975 by the city of Winterthur.

A small cave that goes a good 30m into the mountain. Quite low and damp so make sure you wear good pants and keep your head down!

The impressive building of the Mannenberger Mühle used to stand on the meadow between Kempt and the edge of the forest. Of all the mills in the Illnau community, the Mannenberger mill had the best energy ratios because it used both the water from the Kempt and the Grendelbach. It is mentioned for the first time in the documents in 1482, when the knight Konrad Schwend sold the Würgeln and Mannenberg mills to his fief miller Konrad Himmel as inheritance. Towards the end of the 16th century, representatives of the old Tagelswang family of Wegmann married at the two mills. This family soon belonged to the most influential families in the Illnau community. In 1675, Jakob Wegmann had the Mannenberg mill rebuilt in a splendid half-timbered style by Zimmermann Urlich Bruzer. As one of the first and most beautiful half-timbered buildings in the region, it was an excellent testimony to rural architecture. In 1854 the Wegmann family sold the entire property of the Swiss Nordostbahn company. the railway embankment built in 1855 cut off the water supply to the Mannenberger Mühle and resulted in the cessation of centuries-old operations. The historic building was demolished in 1871. Apart from the sandstone cave, which the mill family had used as a natural cellar, nothing today reminds of the proud past of the Mannenberger mill.
