Hohenfurch

Gateway to the foothills of the Alps

Hohenfurch is the gateway to the Pfaffenwinkel district, located in the Schönach Valley and surrounded by fields and woods providing a spectacular view to the Alpine panorama. The Schönach creek meanders through the village connecting Oberdorf and Unterdorf, two districts which were separated years ago. The most enchanting buildings in the village are the parish church and the St. Ursula Chapel, located south of Hohenfurch on a green hill.
