Kloster Schönthal — Local services in Langenbruck

Great place for a half to full day outing and interesting hike. Beautiful scenery. Amazing sculptures. The main attraction is the sculpture "park" which needs at least 3 hours to get around most of the 30 or so artworks. No Abbey as such to visit. Entry 10 CHF (adult). 20 CHF for families.

Anyone with walking difficulty (small children, elderly, push chairs) can stick to the flat road but will only see a few sculptures. Formal picknicking not allowed. Nice organic farm in the area. Open all year around. Very little shade on a hot sunny day so bring a hat and water or visit in...
