Information from the German Common Knowledge. Edit to localize it to your language. Moni der Geissbub: Um das Bad Fideris zu erreichen, musst Du lange in die Höhe steigen.  Wer Gott zum Freunde hat: In Bürgln, dem kleinen Dorfe oberhalb Altdorf, sind im Sommer die grünen Wiesen mit dem duftenden Gras und den frischen Blumen gar herrlich anzusehen und zu durchwandern. In sicherer Hut: In Dresden, nicht weit von der Terrasse an der Elbe, stand einmal ein grosses, steinernes Haus. Toni von Kandergrund: Hoch oben im Berner Oberland, noch eine gute Strecke über dem von Wiesen umsäumten Dörfchen Kandergrund, steht eine kleine, einsame Hütte, von einem alten Tannenbaum überschattet. Die Stauffer-Mühle: Hoch über dem kleinen Weiler Gsteig, am schmalen Bergpfad, der zur Schynigen Platte hinaufführt, steht eine einsame Hütte. Allein zum Trost: Umgeben von Wiesen und Aeckern, höher als alle andern Gehöfte, stand ein Haus, "am Forst" geheissen. Beim Weiden-Josef: Wo sich schöne grüne Weidehügel erheben, einer nach dem anderen, und die Taleinschnitte von schimmernden roten und blauen Sommerblumen bedeckt sind, liegt das Dörfchen Altkirch. | |
