Willerzell

Willerzell sits on the eastern shore of Lake Sihl in Switzerland’s canton of Schwyz, where the Sihl River has been dammed to form the country’s largest artificial lake. The settlement belongs to the municipality of Einsiedeln, in a pre-Alpine setting of water, pastures and wooded slopes. Lake Sihl was created for the Etzelwerk hydroelectric scheme and is used for sailing, fishing and walks along its shore. Nearby Einsiedeln is known for its Benedictine Abbey and Chapel of Grace, home to the Black Madonna and a long-established pilgrimage destination.
