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/

Only a small part of Lake Hüttwilersee can be seen here.

The view is very limited due to forest cover. There's a barbecue area and an information board about the former Estate General of 1800, built by the French General Lacourbe.

The highlight is completely pointless, it's in the middle of a forest with no view, all the pictures are wrong (except mine...).
