Work on dismantling the schoolhouse in Unterheid near Meiringen (BE) is proceeding at pace. Over the last few weeks, both the top floor and the second floor have been removed. Some interesting discoveries were made along the way: a drawing on a piece of wood and indications that the windows had been replaced at some stage and the jetty expanded in later years. This demonstrates that even in 1830, those working on the structure were professionals who understood their craft. Thanks to the digital twin, you can now embark on your own digital tour of the schoolhouse.
Day after day, Bärbel, the adventurous wooden cow, dreamed of an exciting trip through Switzerland. One morning, she decided to make her dream come true. When she saw the two oxen, Sämi and Zimbo, slowly moving towards the Swiss Open-Air Museum, she thought "now or never" and decided to follow the call of adventure.
Find Bärbel on the Ballenberg, take a creative, cheeky selfie with her and post it on Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #ballenbergchallenge.
