Brief description

The Anabaptists from Schaffhausen sought shelter in the Randen via the steep Anabaptist path and reached the Anabaptist meetings unrecognised. Field names still remind us of this time.

Description

At the top of the Täuferstieg, the "Täuferstein" was erected in 2004 to commemorate the persecution of the Anabaptists and as a sign of reconciliation.

Discover the historic paths over the Randen, which lead through pleasant forest valleys up to the wide Randen hill with the extensive Zelgli meadow. The names of the fields are still reminiscent of the time when the persecuted Anabaptists held their meetings in the shelter of the Randen.
