Einsiedeln - A stunning Abbey and horse meat in a vending machine

It was Saturday and we were itching to do a day trip and see more of what Switzerland has to offer close to Zürich. Destination Einsiedeln.

Einsiedeln is a municipality of 13,062 in Switzerland in the canton of Schwyz known for its monastery, the Benedictine Einsiedeln Abbey it's also the birthplace of Paracelsus or so Wikipedia tells me.

Anyway, it's beautiful and well worth a visit. There's a very famous statue of the Black Madonna inside the Abbey. But that most interesting faith based site to be found here is a street vending machine that sells packaged horse meat. Don't believe me? You trying buying packaged horse meat out of a vending machine and see if you don't start praying to the big man upstairs.
