“A point of reference of the Swiss living abroad. It symbolizes the bond of the
Swiss Abroad with their home country.”

The “Area for the Swiss Abroad” in Brunnen belongs to the over 746,000 Swiss living abroad. It symbolises their connection with their home country.

The “Area for the Swiss Abroad” is one of the few remaining monuments of the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation in 1991. It marks the final section of the “Swiss path”, a hiking path around Lake Uri, where every Canton is represented by a stretch of the track. The square shows the affiliation of the Swiss abroad to their home country.
