  • Genève’s Jet d’Eau

    One of Genève’s places of interest is the 140m jet d’eau in the lake. Tourists can use a small walkway to go there to get wet. Along this way one can sit / lay down on this looong bench, enjoy the sun and a good view to Genève.      

  • Super Rabbit

    Near Zurich Airport is a place which is called “Oberhäsli” which is Swiss German language. If you translate that 1:1 it means super rabbit. I guess the rabbits, super or normal also like this calm place… …with a nice view into the corn field with red flowers.

  • The Bench and the Tractor

    Somewhere in the Swiss forests. Not sure what was first, the red bench or the red wheels of the tractor. Seems the forest has some sense of colors.

  • Swing Bench in a box

    One more from the alps around Zurich. Amazing to find on the top of the hill a bench in box, and the bench is swinging. I guess the box around the bench is needed to stand the tough temperatures, otherwise you would not rest for too long on the bench.

  • Neighborhood Benches or “Quartier Bänckli”

    There are more benchers out there. While the Diana (in the meanwhile addicted bencher) was hunting for benches in the region of Säntis in Switzerland, she has found this add for bench-movement “Quartier Bänckchen”. In essence: put the bench in front of the house and not in the backyard. Here the add for the Quartier Bänckchen……

  • Aries Alley in Zurich

    The year starts with a bench from Diana. Definitely the first bench in 2017. The pictures arrived shortly after midnight. I assume Diana was celebratingthe New Year in Zurich, and first thing (well, probably not the very first thing, but still..) is to take a pic from a nice, wooden bench located in the Aries Alley in Zurich (not…

  • Red Bänkli Garden

    Another guest bencher contribution. Diana was obviously on country side, outside of Zurich near Einsiedel. It is not located at the famous Zurich Lake but this lake is also very nice, surrounded by mountains (what else would you expect in Switzerland 😉 And she found an assembly of red benches on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Kind of red-bench-garden…

  • Andermatt gabione bench

    We have got a new bencher on board. Winand provided his first bench to this blog. And what a start. I can not recall that we had so far a bench with this style, wooden blanks as seating and the back, gabione building the armrest. Very solid, robust. Swiss-made. The bench is located in the mountains…
