What you'll see
A platform jutting out from the cliff 350 metres above the village, looking straight down on the roofs and along the whole lake to the mountains, next to an old stone tower.
A brief history
The tower beside it, the Rudolfsturm, was built in 1284 to guard the salt mine, which was worth fighting over; it's now a café.
