About this audio guide
This guide to the Heimwehfluh, the little funicular hill above Interlaken, is about the people who keep it running rather than the view. It follows a retired church organist turned volunteer, a model railway built in nineteen forty-nine, and the Tschanz family who have managed the hill for decades. Along the way it touches the original wooden funicular cars and the young local association that took on the restaurant in twenty twenty-six.
