Intro

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. Right next to the sawmill is a small washing museum that houses the unique “Weingarten washboard press”.
