Photo Spot Tower of Hospental
Hospental, the last village before heading south over the Gotthard Pass, enjoyed great prominence during the days of the muleteers. The tower once occupied by the lords of Hospental dominates the whole of Hospental. Because of its elevated position, the tower is clearly visible from many directions and thus shapes the landscape of the Ursern Valley. The tower is open to the public. Based on the dating of timbers used in the walls, it is assumed the tower was constructed in the 13th century.
