Things to Do  

Spotting grave yards

Spotting grave yards, Brugg

 sinoda Says:  On a trip I usually go and check out the local cemetary. I don't know why. It is just some sort of urge and curiousity which leads me. Here is Brugg's nice and rather hidden last resting yard. Notice the tomb stones are flat on the ground and not standing up-right! Unusual!

Güggelgässli

Güggelgässli, Brugg

 sinoda Says:  This is the narrowest-most alley in Brugg. It is partially coverd and really uncanny... Situated in the old-town it is easily reached from the Schultheiss-Allee side. When you walk the street downwards it'll appear half-way on your left-side.
