Ever since the 12th century Engelberg has been making its spicy alpine cheese.
Giswil (Central Switzerland)
The “Säge” in Giswil is one of history’s great survivors. Made entirely of wood, Switzerland’s only water-powered sawmill exudes nostalgia and the romanticism of an age-old craft. You will be amazed at how little water is needed to start the giant wheel turning. And the souvenir piece of wood you get to saw will serve as a permanent reminder of your visit to the “Säge”.
Giswil (Central Switzerland)
The Fluonalp is one of the loveliest of the Giswil Alps and the cows that graze here enjoy not only magnificent views, but a copious supply of the most delicious herbs. No wonder the cheese made from their milk is so remarkable. Nor is the recipe a secret. Anyone who wants to can visit the dairy and make their own cheese. What’s more, they can pick it up again a year later (the cheeses weigh between 11 and 13 kg), by which time it will have matured to perfection.
Hergiswil NW (Central Switzerland)
Die Glashütte Hergiswil besteht seit 1817 am Vierwaldstättersee. Damals ein Produktionsstandort mit idealem Transportweg für Energie und Ware. Die handwerkliche Tradition lebt auch heute mit modernem Design weiter. Die Ausstellung erzählt die Geschichte des Glases und der Glasi Hergiswil, und den Glasmachern kann bei der Arbeit am Offen zugeschaut werden.
