Memorial for the Battle of Näfels: Two months later, the Habsburg army of 600 men on horseback and 6,000 foot soldiers, which had gathered in Weesen, broke into the Linth Valley and on April 9, 1388 overran the line (Letzimauer), which was defended by only 300 Glarnern. The Habsburgs then plundered up the valley and attacked Näfels, Mollis, Netstal and Glarus. The people of Glarus who rushed up, reinforced by some Uri, Schwyz and men from Unterwalden, who had rushed over the Pragel Pass despite snow and rain, gathered behind Näfels on the Rautiberg. When the Habsburg captains saw this small force, they gathered their troops, which were already busy with looting, and attacked the approximately 600 Swiss Confederates. Stones and boulders were then thrown into the cavalry of the Habsburgs. The Glarus people took advantage of the confusion among the enemy and drove them to flight; many of them died in the swamp near Weesen.
