Kaltbach Cheese Cave

Kaltbach Cheese Cave

A one-hour drive from Zürich, near Lucerne, lies the Kaltbach Cave. The cave itself was shaped an estimated 22 million years ago; its one-of-a kind environment is what enables Kaltbach cheese to mature in a very unique manner. Today, the company produces Gruyère, Emmental, Gouda and the eponymous Kaltbach cheese. Take a tour of the cave, learn about the production and storage of the cheese and let yourself be enticed to a tasting of different kinds of the celebrated Swiss delicacy.

Zürich-West District

Zürich-West District

Zürich-West transformed from the industrial quarter into the trendy district with an unpolished charm. The area full of offices, apartments, arts venues, cafes and restaurants stretches between the track leading away from Zürich Hauptbahnhof and the Limmat. Factories and shipyards moved away, leaving their vast spaces that creative minds have turned into art, design, food, culture and shopping hotspots, with plenty of scope for architectural experiments. Check out the design boutiques and market halls nestled in the arches of the railway bridge, known as Im Viadukt. Frau Gerolds Garten is an urban garden, food court and meeting spot. The Freitag Flagship Store with its tower is located here, too.
