April April
Fuse two cult products, another is immortalized on the bridge – these are this year’s April Fools from Switzerland
In Switzerland, attempts will be made again on April 1st to lead others to the ice. Below are some topics that could be true, but can be assessed as a joke.
New name for Kornhausbrücke in Bern
The Kornhausbrücke in Bern has been renovated and is now called « Emmental Switzerland Brücke, » said Emmentaler Switzerland. After one of the best ski seasons of all time, Bern appreciates the outstanding achievements of the Swiss skiers. With its « iconic appearance » of a huge Emmental and its famous holes, the bridge attracts everyone’s attention and is a tribute to the legendary scination Switzerland.
A civil engineer from the project team explains that a completely new construction technology with air -permeable materials has been developed that not only gives the building an optical authenticity, but also an incredible lightness – “just like the real Emmentaler!”.
“Emmental Switzerland” introduces the new Kornhausbrücke.
Revolution on the highway
After the Swiss people rejected the expansion of several motorway sections, the Federal Office of Street (Astra) wants to upgrade the central grass strip, as the former Green Neuenburg National and State Councilor Fernand Cuche announced.
He wants to have fruit trees planted there, but also currants, blueberries, strawberries and even wine. Self -pickers should harvest the fruits. This would transform the traffic jams into « moments of conviviality, encounter and sharing », according to the former Greens politician.
Bluescht holiday in Thurgau
Thurgau celebrates the first official “Bluescht-Fiirtig”. In this context, Thurgau Tourism shares: «The canton of Thurgau sets a strong sign for spring and introduces a brand new holiday: the Bluescht holiday! For the first time on April 4, 2025, the entire Thurgau will come to a standstill so that everyone can fully devote themselves to the beauty of the flowering orchards. Nature celebrates – and the Thurgauers celebrate with! »
This is exactly how Thurgauer should enjoy the Bluecht-Fiirtig.
