The magnificent landscape terrace offers a phenomenal view of the Glarus Thrust.

In the Tamina valley along the road between Pfäfers and Vadura, there is a landacape terrace called the viewpoint Windegg. In addition to the fantastic view of the Glarus Thrust along the Wildseehörner, into the Tamina Valley and into the Tamina Gorge, you can also find exciting information about the UNESCO World Heritage Tectonic Arena Sardona on originally designed information boards and viewing guides. The comfortable seats and loungers, as well as a climbing rock invite you to linger. A visit to the viewpoint can be easily combined with a visit to the earthquake exhibition in Vättis.
