Traditional Methods
This is the same stable as in my previous photo, but taken from the opposite viewpoint. You can see the manure heap much better and also the "Heinzen" (as the Walser called them): these are the wooden sticks hanging under the roof.
When harvest time came, the grass was cut, the sticks were put up on the meadow and the grass was hung over the sticks to dry and to turn into hay.
You can follow the Walser culture trail in the Kleinwalsertal (the valley where the Walser, the people from the Swiss Wallis came to live) and get information about the old traditions.
