Combinez un voyage textile dans le temps avec du shopping !
Cet itinéraire vous emmène le long des "spots textiles" et des possibilités de shopping jusqu'au Sitterwerk. Il est idéal pour une promenade prolongée.
Commencez la promenade à la gare. Après quelques minutes, vous serez à Bischoff Textil, une entreprise textile de renommée mondiale. Sur la Kreuzbleiche, vous pouvez profiter des rayons du soleil et imaginer comment les toiles de lin étaient étendues ici pour être blanchies autrefois. Continuez vers l'ancienne usine de broderie Iklé-Frères et ensuite vers le Tröckneturm. Ensuite, vous pourrez faire un arrêt shopping chez Jakob Schlaepfer. Au bâtiment des frères Muser, vous pouvez sentir les herbes avant d'arriver au Sitterwerk.
Author’s recommendation
The Sitterwerk with its art library, materials archive and Josephsohn boiler house is certainly worth a visit.
