Wanderings
« on: April 22, 2022, 07:26:44 PM »
We went off on a trip to central Switzerland and stayed in one of the restored grand hotels. On the way there was some old mine railway equipment and the hotel had it's own funicular from the jetty. We then went to visit the open air museum in Ballenberg which had some water powered equipment including this sawmill:

Hi Roger!  Looks like a great trip, though the first video is not showing (is it shared? ) The other two show up fine.

That looks like a great place to stay!  Great shot of the funicular running up to the hotel!  Great videos of the sawmill and power plant (though, as Chris mentioned, the first video didn't work for me).
