Place of power

For centuries, the Rigi has been regarded as a place of power. In addition to subjective perceptions, it has also been studied through so-called energy measurements, which have revealed elevated levels of what are known as “Bovis units.” This scale is used in dowsing to describe the energetic quality of a place.

Measurements taken on the Rigi show above-average readings, which are said to indicate a special energetic aura.

Particularly high readings were recorded at the spring near the rock chapel, at the Känzeli lookout point, on the Rotstock, and at the Felsentor.
