Hiking

The Löwengrube near Altdorf used to be a quarry, and in the 16th century the town wall and later the university building were built from its sandstone. Then the quarry fell into oblivion. It was rediscovered in 1686 by Baron Löwenstern's tutor, hence the name. The wilderness was quickly cleared and converted into a festival site, which was inaugurated by Altdorf students in 1686 with great celebration. When the university was closed in 1809, a few citizens with brewing rights built a beer cellar there.
