Switzerland

Switzerland is the water castle of Europe with its 1500 lakes, countless rivers and streams. The Matterhorn as well as the Eiger mountains have reached the world thanks to its majestic appearance and history surrounding them. Switzerland is a small country - its greatness can't be measured in kilometers or population. Its greatness is its variety and, wherever you look, you get a different picture. Take a closer look and small becomes great - peaceful lakes of crystal-clear water; high and hanging glaciers; rare butterflies in pine forests; magnificent gorges hiding orchids; verdant meadows... no other country offers such a wealth of beauty and untouched nature in such a small area, and scarcely any other place protects its nature so respectfully. And let's not forget the country's world famous sites - the Matterhorn, the Rhine Falls, the Jungfraujoch, the Rhone glacier or the Lavaux vineyards on Lake Geneva.

Even classic Swiss sights can be viewed afresh, from a surprising perspective or in a particular light. That's the visual poetry of photographer Robert Bösch who has captured the country's natural wonders both large and small, in beautiful large-format images.

This is a beautifully produced photo collection in a large-format hardback book, in a protective cardboard case - 29 x 23cm. Each photo has a short description by Emil Zopfi in eight languages (German, French, Italian, English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese)
