Endingen-Lengnau Jewish cultural trail

The Endingen-Lengnau Jewish Cultural Trail is a cultural trail that makes the cultural heritage of the two Swiss “Jewish villages” of Endingen and Lengnau accessible. Since the Swiss Jews were only allowed to settle in these two Surbtal villages until 1866 , many buildings can still be seen there that originally served the Jews as apartments, synagogues , bath houses or for other purposes. The culture trail is divided into a tour through Endingen and Lengnau and the cemetery between the villages.
