"All ears": The world of fairy tales, legends and sounds at Ballenberg

Exciting fairy tales, legends and audio recordings from various Swiss regions, each told in their local dialect, are just waiting to be discovered at Ballenberg. The QR codes providing access to the stories are each located in a historic building from the region where the story was first told. Where might the book of fairy tales be hidden? On the kitchen table, in the parlour or maybe on the bedside table? Who will find it first? 

«Ganz Ohr – Märchen-, Sagen- und Klangwelt auf dem Ballenberg» so heisst das Projekt, welches wir mit der Stiftung Mutabor laciert haben. Spannende Sagen und Märchen können anhand eines QR-Codes als Audio Dateien abgespielt werden.

Forest trail to indigenous trees and shrubs

Plastic and metal products are everywhere these days. But, how did our ancestors cope without these materials? The answer comes from the forest, which offers a solution for almost all aspects of daily life. The themed trail (forest trail) takes us to a range of different trees and shrubs and shows their vital importance for traditional handicrafts and customs.
