The Eco-Museum "Festungswerke oberer Buchberg" consists of a protected ensemble of 9 historic battle structures from 1939 and 1940/41. The system with dams for flooding the Linth plain, tank ditches, anti-tank barriers, bunkers and a large rockwork has been preserved in its entirety. Since 2009, the main site at Mösliflue has been home to the "Musée résistance suisse 1940", which tells the story of how, during the country's most desperate times at the hands of Hitler's Germany, courageous men and women of all parties and denominations came together to secretly prepare for non-violent resistance after an enemy occupation. These preparations continued during the Cold War until 1990. At that time, the Mösliflue plant was the army's material store for the resistance regions of eastern Switzerland under the code name "ZL Burg". The 50-year history of the resistance is told on 24 panels and in several documentary films.
