Reaching the monastery

We request all visitors to arrive early.

The Wildbergstrasse will be closed, and it will not be possible to drive up to the monastery. We recommend to use the train (S26) up to Rikon station. In front of the Kuhn Rikon premises and throughout the village of Rikon, only very limited parking space will be available.

To walk from Rikon station to the Rikon monastery, it takes some 20 to 25 minutes.

Shuttlebus

A shuttlebus service will be available from 07.00 to 09.00 a.m. and from about 13.30 p.m. onwards.

The shuttlebus-stop is just opposite the premises of Kuhn Rikon.

Precedence will be given to elderly and handicapped persons as well as to official guests.
