Come with me through the Swiss capital

One of the landmarks of the Swiss capital and definitely worth a visit when you are in town is the gate. First we started with the Gate, an medieval astronomical clock and bell chimes. More than 600 years ago, the "Zytglogge", located at the gateway to Kramgasse, sounded its first hourly chimes. Since then, the bell has sounded many millions of hourly chimes. It is always admired by tourists and locals alike and preserved a high significance.

In 1530, Brunner Kaspar presented the people of Bern a monumental clock with an artistic play of figures and a clockwork of immense proportions.

The building work of the Berner cathedrale started around 1421 and builders worked on this masterpiece for many generations along. The tower was not completed until 1893.

At the top of the tower is a unique panoramic viewpoint. If you climb about 254 steps to the first gallery, a wonderful view slowly opens up for you. On that day was closed. Once at the top, you can see the roofs of the old town and, on a clear day, the panorama of the Bernese Alps with the imposing peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau and more.

As I entered the cathedral, a few positive thoughts crossed my mind; we must never give up, no matter how bad everything looks, even if we can no longer believe that, we will have a chance of success again. A door will always open and everything will turn around to success and happiness. That's what I have also experienced several times:)

The Einstein House in Bern below, which is visited by many tourists, has been recognized by the European Physical Society and the American Physical Society as a Historic Site and has received an award from the Historic Sites Award.

Einstein rented here the apartment on the second floor between 1903 and 1905. It is furnished in the style of that period, so documents the Bernese period was very important for Einstein. It is open to be visited, entry 5 Chf. It can be reached by walking from the main station in the right arcade in the direction of Bärengraben arriving at Kramgasse 49. On the third floor you will find an exhibition room where the life and work of Albert Einstein are documented and briefly described with a short video.

The Moses Fountain is a fountain in the Old Town.

Another one Fountain of the many colorfuly fountains here in Berne the Simson Fountain, originally also known as the Schaal Fountain, is located in the old town and is also one of Berne's old town fountains from the 16th century.

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day!
