On the village circuit you will get to know the most important places in Einsiedeln by means of panels.

There are a total of seven panels (steles) where you can discover fascinating facts about the history of each location and its buildings. The walking route leads from the train station square through the old town towards the monastery and then back to the train station via Schmiedstrasse. However, the order doesn't matter, so you can start either at the train station or at the monastery.
