Brutal Mother Nature of calmness in the basin of Alps. One of various lakes in Switzerland, the ägeri lake – in the village at the far end, called unterägeri. Known as a historic site in the scene of the famous Battle of Morgarten which was a war between Austria and Switzerland in 1315. The victory of Switzerland cemented “Bundesbrief”, a permanent alliance that forms the core of Switzerland today. The pictures below is the view from the South towards the Alps. It is a small peaceful lake compared to others in the country today yet the history behind is immortal and historical.
During the winter season today, there is snow to enjoy and during summer season, there’s greenery and hikes to embrace the view and landscape of the country. Hot springs environment is certainly made by the landscape and geographic trate.
For epicure, Switzerland based foods are known to cheese and chocolate especially in Lindt is globally popular and even in a Switzerland gala or charity dinner parties globally, you are catered with these chocolates and delicious Switzerland made cheese along with the dishes.
From Rösti to regional gastronomic like “pizokel mit siedfleisch” for example – a rich landscape culinary cuisine is influenced by Austria, France, and Germany also.
In the local, you are also able to enjoy vegan and South East Asian cuisines easily these days which shows this country as culturally globally more diverse.
Switzerland today has a mixed culture of contemporary modern authenticity, and alternative existence with nature. Throughout the country, plenty of historic architecture sites as well as contemporary modern cultural and design sites which fascinate and stimulate us as much as Mother Nature does.
As mentioned previously, a consequence of their wild nature and the geographical landscape, there are beautiful hot springs. A fall wind from the alps is also a natural cause that is another part of their lifestyle : by listening to this wind in a mountain environment reminds of it. It is like repetitive life cycle of daily rituals, weather, and seasons. Death and rebirth in one’s evolvement leads to new chapter of life.
This also remind of the Switzerland contemporary modern music ( sound journey: Switzerland released from Non Classical Record )
Zurich born Jazz saxophone player, Tobias Merier is one of emerging young experimental jazz artists who is globally known.
Experimental and contemporary arts are a solid part of the community in Switzerland. Every autumn for almost the last two decades, LUFF festival ( Lausanne underground film and music festival )– experimental film and music festival in Lausanne is always a good , provocative, inspiring experience in Switzerland to add to your stay. It is like the landscape of nature and the weather of the country. It is sometimes brutal yet open and empathetic.
As a part of the tourism and culture, especially in Zurich, there’s an epicure and arts to present pleasantly. Of course, Plenty of accommodations throughout Switzerland are emerging to express their creative and inspiring interior and travel fans : Some of the trends seem to have a nice minimal style which is reminiscent of the modern hygiene Japanese style. I found one in Basel that has the expression of it. Communal area has profound concepts yet the entire facilities respect privacy to keep nice boundaries: it does not disturb guests stay which can be challenging for new style designed boutique hotel and this accommodation designed to operate successfully so far. And Meeting contemporary and natural material. It makes you comfortable to stay and it gives you a lead to outing.
And lastly, I would like to feature more on Switzerland architecture ( space designing ) and the LUFF festival sometime in the near future.
