Die Pforte der Vorderen Höri

A unique hike, three kilometres from Radolfzell, on the opposite shore of Lake Zell lies Moos, with its four districts of Iznang, Weiler with Bettnang and Bankholzen on the "Vordere Höri" headland with its large vegetable fields and the place of origin of the "Bülle", as the EU-protected onion is called here!

A unique event is the Mooser water procession, which takes place every year in July.

Iznang, a former fishing settlement and birthplace of Dr Franz Anton Messmer, the discoverer of animal magnetism (1794-1815), lies directly on the lakeshore. Weiler, with its gem Bettnang and the late Gothic parish church of St Leonhard, is well worth a visit. A knight's castle is said to have once stood here and the Grünenberg monastery once stood on the border of the district near the forest. Both have long since disappeared and nothing is left of the buildings.

At the foot of the wooded Schienerberg lies the rural village of Bankholzen in this unique, enchanting landscape with a high recreational value and excellent gastronomy. From the Höri there are marvellous views of the Hegau mountains,

the Alps, the island of Reichenau and Lake Constance. The fascinating landscape with forest and lake, fruit and vegetable plantations around the Schienerberg is largely under nature and landscape protection.
