Here you will find the Winkelried Monument and the Winkelried House, which now houses a museum of art from Central Switzerland, the parish church of St Peter and Paul and the former St Clare's Monastery. The Culinarium Alpinum, located in the former monastery, is now a leading centre of excellence for regional cuisine in the Alpine region and a hostel. Those who enjoy active recreation can play a round of frisbee golf or head for the heights: the Stanserhorn with its combination of the historic funicular railway and the world's first aerial cableway with an open upper deck provides impressive impressions even before arriving on the mountain.
