メットメンシュテッテンの絶景の山頂・トップ13

The Albis chain is a striking, largely forested mountain ridge that runs parallel to the Sihl and Lake Zurich from Sihlbrugg to Urdorf / Schlieren. It is flanked by two valleys, the Sihl valley in the east and the Reppisch valley in the west. The eastern flank of the Albis is steep, characterized by ridges, deep ditches and numerous streams. It is geomorphologically extremely active, sparsely populated and largely covered by the Sihl forest. The western side is less steep and has an unusually strong interweaving of forest and grassland on steep slopes for the Central Plateau. Here, the interaction between site conditions and human use has led to diverse, sometimes rare habitats.

The Kappel monastery was a Cistercian monastery until the years of the Reformation, after which it was converted to social purposes, including as a boys' boarding school. Today, part of the complex is used as a seminar hotel and educational center. There is a monastery café for refreshments and a restaurant in the monastery cellar.

There are always impressive and moving events at Kappel Monastery.

The Kappel Monastery in the historic buildings of the former Cistercian monastery in Kappel am Albis. It is nestled in a pre-Alpine landscape, surrounded by forests, meadows and fields.

When visibility is good, the view sweeps west across the Swiss Mittelland with its various mountain ranges to the Jura. The Central Swiss Alps rise to the south.
