Holidays in SwissMiniatur

Mini Park SwissMiniatur (Switzerland in Miniatüre) was opened in 1959. The location for the project was chosen primarily because of the unusual beauty of the landscape and the temperate climate. From the outset, the goal of the mini-park was to briefly introduce everything in miniature, which makes the Swiss architecture so unusual and sensitive.

SwissMiniatur sees almost all the sights of Switzerland - old cities, monuments, woods and even transport systems in miniatures, in classic for the manufacture of 1:25 scales.

The Mini Park is located in Lugano on the shores of Lake viaio, surrounded by Monte Jenerozo and San Salvatore, famous richest fauna and flora. Melide is located in the northern part of the bridge crossing the lake. Visitors of the park have the advantage: SwissMiniatur can get from both the fast track and the local railway as well as from the sea on the recreational boat. There are also regular bus tours in the park, however, most tourists prefer to reach a mini-park on a ship from Lugano, which takes place around 40 minutes, and allows for the development of magnificent species.

Everyone who remembers Swiss time traditions expects SwissMiniatur higher than Minimundus or Mini-Europe, the level of mechanization of animated models, but there are traditions of classic maquito manufacture. The models in the Swiss park are predominantly static.

Despite the fact that Switzerland in Miniature is younger than, for example, the Dutch colleague and has a smaller number of architectural maquets, and the length of the local railway is less than 500 metres, it seems more cozy, and the Territory ' s organization has been more ingenious. There is another significant advantage for the park, a geographical position, because it is much more beneficial to the Swiss Mini Park than to many colleagues. The location is practically ideal not only because of the comfort climate conditions that, naturally, are here on the border with Italy, are much more pleasant than in The Hague, but also because of the mountain environment, which makes a magnificent natural background for architectural maquets, which, to say, is particularly appreciated.

In SwissMiniatur, all Switzerland ' s natural beauty and naturally the castle masks, in the face of natural mountains of waterfalls, look more alive and more interesting than in plains. Also, by photographing some buildings ' architectural mocks, it can be observed that the originals are nearby, which provides an opportunity in practice to understand what this is really about 1:25.

In the park, the number of architects is located in area 125 and is sufficiently freely positioned, as is the case with the inner Mini Park Madurodam.

For children, fun is a trip on a mini trip around the park. Perhaps the place of embarkation on this train is the only truly human place in the entire complex. In the other parts of SwissMiniatur, there is appeasement and unsuccessful rhythm of life, as in traditional Japanese city mini-parks.

Many mini-park models were performed by leading Swiss maquet shops. They are truly 1.5, or 2, of human growth, and the architectural maquet of the Milan cafeteria (Duomo di Milano) has the opportunity to enter freely. By the way, the Italian cathedral model in the Swiss park is a tribute to Italy, because SwissMiniatur is only about 10 kilometres from the border, and Milan is not more than an hour away.

The popularity of the mini-park is growing every year, not least because of its gradual expansion. He may not grow as active as many other European mini-parks, but the SwissMiniature does so very imaginatively here, in Switzerland, everything is going on without rush and with a high precision.
