Right tributaries Scales

The Minster is an approximately 13 kilometer long tributary of the Sihlsee in the Hoch-Ybrig area in the Swiss canton of Schwyz .

course

The Minster rises southwest of Oberiberg and flows into the Sihlsee and thus into the Sihl near Euthal . The course of the river lies in the municipal areas of Oberiberg, Unteriberg and Einsiedeln .

canyon

The Minsterschlucht is located in front of Oberiberg . This narrow, winding gorge still bears the signature of the Sihl Glacier from the Ice Age. The small brook can turn into a raging stream at high tide, as was the case most recently in 2007. The valley floor of the Minster was originally a raised bog .
