Gibt es Geister, Drachen, Hexen oder Teufel? Was sind Schutzzeichen? Welcher Wahrheitsgehalt steckt in einer Sage?
Auf dem Rundgang durch die Ausstellung «Sagenhafter Alpenraum» tauchen Sie ein in die mystische Welt der sagenhaften Erzählungen aus dem Alpenraum. Sie erfahren, woher die Sagen stammen, wie sie gesammelt wurden und welche Motive immer wiederkehren und eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Sagen wie Wilhelm Tell, die Teufelsbrücke oder das Sennentuntschi sind nur einige Beispiele aus dem reichen Erzählschatz des «Sagenhaften Alpenraums».

Listening to them gives you the shivers.
Folk tales tell of extraordinary, supernatural, or miraculous incidents. They recount stories in which ghosts, witches, even the Devil himself feature, or they may deal with historical figures and events.
Traditional tales are known from all parts of the country, but central Switzerland is especially rich in them. The exhibition focuses on well-known legends such as the tales of William Tell, the miraculous “Devils Bridge”, the fateful “Black Spider”, the fiery “Pilatus Dragon”, the enchanted “Blüemlisalp”, the vengeful “Sennentuntschi”, and the spooky “Toggeli”.
