The romantic inn in 1788 was one of the first post offices in Switzerland and a hostel for famous guests such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Hans Christian Andersen. Many antiques are reminiscent of the heyday of stagecoach traffic on the Gotthard. The park-like garden, the rooms with the historical details with authentic furniture and the cozy dining room offer real nostalgic charm.
