Along the historic ‘Swiss Path’, an innovative installation is being created that combines art, history and modern technology. A special highlight is a graffiti jam - artists are designing five tunnel walls with their works on the theme of ‘The Cradle of Switzerland’.
The new production is generously supported by the Dätwyler Foundation, the New Regional Policy, the Markant Foundation and the Victorinox Foundation.

If you divide Switzerland's 35 kilometres of road by the number of inhabitants in 1991, each inhabitant accounted for a symbolic five millimetres of road.

The cantons follow each other along the route in the same order as they entered the Confederation. The transitions from one cantonal section to another are marked with cantonal stones.

Extended lines, dots and an arrow marking movement: this is how the Ticino artist Marco Mariotta has symbolised the historical path of Switzerland and shaped it into a signet for the real path around Lake Uri. The dots in his creation symbolise the ideas, steps and moments that accelerated a development or set it in motion again.
