The fascinating world of Swiss industrial sites
Swiss industrial sites are true gems with a fascinating history, offering unparalleled variety. Amidst breathtaking landscapes and cities we find a rich heritage that was not only preserved but also transformed into adventurous travel destinations.
This book takes us on a journey to 44 unique industrial cultural sites all around Switzerland. From the historical Caquelon workshops in Bonfol, the legendary truck smithy Saurer in Arbon all the way to the majestic machine capital »Nagli« in Winterthur – the hikes and travel logs take us to the witnesses of the industrial age which used to mark, and partly still do, the economic and cultural life of Switzerland. Whether you go on a relaxed walk or on a demanding hike – this guide opens the door to an impressive heritage spanning across all eras of industrialisation.
