The exhibition of mountain crystals in the old church at Flüelen has been extended for two years.
It’s open from March until October, for both 2008 and 2009. 10 am to 6 pm. The church is opposite the railway station, although you might want to consider arriving by boat - the Wilhelm Tell express from Luzern […]
