In addition to the wonderfully preserved half-timbered houses, many fountains are also to be admired. These were formerly used primarily as watering troughs for livestock, but partly also as washing places.

From here you have a beautiful view of Stein am Rhein. To the right you can see the old town, to the left the river promenade.

A picturesque spot high on the hillside, where the old building – a wine press, formerly a wine press – stands. Today, despite its listed building status, the wine press can be rented as an event venue. More information about the history of the wine press can be found here: https://www.kunstundwein-iselisberg.ch/de/hintergrund/geschichte/
