When temperatures get below freezing during the bloom and fruit set of the almonds, sprinklers are run to help with air movement and to help raise the orchard temperatures. The ice that forms on the setting fruit actually helps insulate and prevent the nut set from being damaged.

The Verkehrshaus is the most visited museum of Switzerland.
From the train station you catch the bus (N° 6 or 8) up to the station "Verkehrshaus". The bus drives every five to ten minutes. At the entrance you'll find an old VW beetle full of stickers.
At the museum you can see a lot of different means of transport (airplanes, trains, ships, and so on) and things about communication. Further you can walk on the Swiss map and with a lens you can accrete every point of Switzerland (Swissarena). Not to forget: the planetarium.
If you're tired of the museum, you can visit the IMAX right beside of the musem. You can also have a kombi ticket (museum + IMAX).
The museum offers a lot of things, so keep free enough time.

The Kapellbrücke ("Chapel Bridge" in German) is a 204 m (670 ft) long bridge crossing the Reuss River in the city of Lucerne in Switzerland. It is the oldest wooden bridge in Europe, and one of Switzerland's main tourist attractions.
The covered bridge, constructed in 1333, was designed to help protect the city of Lucerne from attacks. Inside the bridge are a series of paintings from the 17th century depicting events from Luzern's history. Much of the bridge, and the majority of these paintings, were destroyed in a 1993 fire, though it was quickly rebuilt.

The small village Přední Výtoň lies on the right bank of the Lipno Dam about 3 km south of the village Frymburk, 731 m a.s.l.
Originally there were monasteries of hermits of the orders of St. Paul and St. Anthony. The village was property of the monastery in Vyšší Brod. Both local monasteries were consolidated at the end of the 15th century (1491) and in the second half of the 16th century they were closed.
The dominant feature of the village is the Gothic Church of Sts. Philip and James. It was built in 1515 in the place of the original church, which was founded in 1385.
The port of ferry, which links Frymburk with the opposite bank of the Lipno Dam, is in the part of the village, which is called Předmostí (or Frýdava).
