ARCHITECTURE, CONCEPTUAL, REPORTAGE

Time travel

Once upon a time, the Swiss community of Mulegns was a post station.

Between Chur and Saint Moritz, horse-drawn carriages took 15 hours and several stops to climb the steep valley.

One of these stops was at Mulegns, at the Posthotel “Löwe”.

But then the train tracks in a parallel valley opened a new and faster way. The horse carriage business bankrupted…

… and Mulegns got cut off the main stream.

Nevertheless, the Posthotel “Löwe” is still there and it is open… and it is definitely worth a visit!

A tram called desire

Everybody is waiting for something

Somebody is waiting for the end of the working day

Somebody else for a lift home …

… I was just waiting for the tram. A little bit longer than usual.

Enjoy the Bernese farmland crowned with its world famous mountains

and spotted with forests and towns.
