Einsiedeln is a municipality of 13,062 in Switzerland in the canton of Schwyz in Switzerland known for its monastery, the Benedictine Einsiedeln Abbey. Einsiedeln is also the birthplace of Paracelsus.
Einsiedeln is made up of six localities: Bennau, Egg, Willerzell, Euthal, Gross and Trachslau. The village is located on the south end of the Lake of Zurich, up a plateau (ca. 880 m. above sea level) and situated near the artificial mountain lake Sihlsee. The town is located at an altitude of 470 m higher than Zurich, with which it has a railway connection.
