After the demolition of the aging tower, the so-called Lilienturm was inaugurated in 2023. 138 wooden steps take you up to the viewing platform at a height of 25 meters. From up here you have a wonderful panorama and, if the visibility is good, you can see the peaks of the Alps.

Highlight • Cave

The Erdmannliloch in the Bachsertal is not just a small cave in an impressive Nagelfluhwand.
Because the remains of the wall come from the Grottenburg Hohfluh, which is the only known cave castle in the canton of Zurich.
