Blood, sweat and tears

Göschenen makes national history: the railway tunnel of 1882.

Many architectural sites tell the story of the construction of the Gotthard railway tunnel, such as the sighting tunnel with a blasting show, the strike of 1875, the workers' quarters or the cemetery.

Unlike any other place along the Gotthard railway, the bridges in Göschenen illustrate the development of traffic from the mule track, to the road, to the railway.

The tour includes 14 stops. Among others, you can visit the station, the villa of the barman Ernst Zahn, the medieval church and the Göschenen power plant.
