Hiking
The Clendy menhir complex is the most important megalithic site in Switzerland.
The formerly widely visible site consists of 45 statue menhirs erected over 6,000 years ago. It was probably an important social and religious gathering place. The statue menhirs of human form perhaps represent gods, heroes, or ancestors venerated by the communities here and partially reach a height of 4.5 meters and a weight of 5 tons.
