I just spent the afternoon here http://www.schoenthal.ch/ in the sculpture park, beautiful layout and complete peace, 10k from the motorway (about 80k from ZRH). We had lunch in Langenbruck, traditional village. There are lots and lots of wanderwegs with beautiful winter landscape, must be nice in summer too.

Anyway, the attraction was the sculpture park, for those who know Storm King or Pepsico Sculpture Garden, we like those. Something different, and the old Kloster buildings are interesting too.

Most restaurants only take cash and there is not an ATM in sight.
