Goldvreneliweg

This encounter is fateful. In summer 1894, the young Rosa Tännler looks after and tends to guests at the Steinalp. The mountain house "Zum Stein" belongs to her parents, who also run the "Bären" in Gadmen. The small hotel has a handful of beds that serve as shelter for travelers. Medalist and artist Fritz Ulysse Landry is traveling over the Susten with a colleague when he sees the natural beauty – her grace overwhelms him immediately. He paints Rosa and later uses the painting as a model for the design of a new gold coin – the Goldvreneli.

The Goldvreneliweg starts below the church of Gadmen and is just over three kilometers long. The route runs in a loop north of the village center and returns to the starting point. Along the way, interested visitors learn at nine stations more about the valley around 1900, about the joys and sorrows of the locals, the emerging tourism and the role of women, the hospitality and openness of the people here. And of course, you get to know Rosa Tännler better – the mountain child, the Goldvreneli, who went out into the world. And who remained a Gadmerin at heart. Each station is equipped with an information board and via QR code and the informative website, the respective themes with stories and facts can be explored interactively.
