<h5 data-start="825" data-end="893">⛰️ Die Burgruine Attinghausen – Macht, Feuer und Vergänglichkeit</h5>
<p data-start="895" data-end="1273">Die Burg Attinghausen wurde vermutlich <strong data-start="934" data-end="955">vor dem Jahr 1100</strong> errichtet und war einst Sitz eines bedeutenden Adelsgeschlechts. Im Mittelalter kontrollierte man von hier aus das Tal, Handelswege und politische Macht. Dicke Mauern, ein mächtiger Turm und eine strategisch kluge Lage zeugen noch heute davon, dass diese Burg nicht nur Wohnsitz, sondern auch Symbol von Einfluss war.</p>
<p data-start="1275" data-end="1668">Beim Rundgang durch die Ruine spürt man schnell: Hier wurde gelebt. Archäologische Funde zeigen, dass die Burg beheizt war, mit kunstvollen Kachelöfen und überraschend hohem Komfort für ihre Zeit. Doch wie so viele Burgen fand auch Attinghausen kein romantisches Ende. Ein Brand – vermutlich im 14. Jahrhundert – setzte der Anlage ein jähes Ende. Zurück blieben Mauern, Steine und Geschichten.</p>
<p data-start="1670" data-end="1910">Heute ist die Ruine frei zugänglich. Kinder spielen Ritter, Erwachsene genießen die Aussicht, und alle teilen diesen besonderen Moment zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Die Burgruine ist kein Museum – sie ist ein offenes Geschichtsbuch.</p>
<h5 data-start="1917" data-end="1970">🍗 Die Pouletburg – wenn Geschichte hungrig macht</h5>
<p data-start="1972" data-end="2232">Wer nach dem Burgbesuch den Hügel wieder hinabsteigt, landet fast automatisch bei der <strong data-start="2058" data-end="2072">Pouletburg</strong>. Und hier wird klar, woher der Name stammt:<br data-start="2116" data-end="2119"><strong data-start="2119" data-end="2129">„Burg“</strong> wegen der Ruine darüber – <strong data-start="2156" data-end="2168">„Poulet“</strong> wegen dem, was hier seit Jahrzehnten meisterhaft serviert wird.</p>
<p data-start="2234" data-end="2531">Die Pouletburg ist kein trendiges Szenelokal. Sie ist ein <strong data-start="2292" data-end="2305">Stück Uri</strong>. Gemütlich, ehrlich, traditionsbewusst. Berühmt ist sie vor allem für ihr <strong data-start="2380" data-end="2401">Poulet im Chörbli</strong> – knusprig, saftig, begleitet von einer Sauce, über die Stammgäste mit der Ernsthaftigkeit mittelalterlicher Chronisten sprechen.</p>
<p data-start="2533" data-end="2773">Was diesen Ort besonders macht, ist nicht nur das Essen, sondern das Gefühl. Hier sitzen Wanderer neben Einheimischen, Familien neben Geschäftsleuten. Man hört Dialekt, Lachen, manchmal auch Geschichten – und über allem wacht die alte Burg.</p>
<h5 data-start="2780" data-end="2807">🪵 Zwei Orte, eine Idee</h5>
<p data-start="2809" data-end="2924">Die Verbindung zwischen Burgruine und Pouletburg ist mehr als geografisch. Beide Orte stehen für <strong data-start="2906" data-end="2923">Beständigkeit</strong>:</p>
<ul data-start="2926" data-end="3078">
<li data-start="2926" data-end="2993">
<p data-start="2928" data-end="2993">Die Burg erinnert daran, dass Macht vergeht, aber Spuren bleiben.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2994" data-end="3078">
<p data-start="2996" data-end="3078">Die Pouletburg zeigt, dass Tradition nicht altmodisch sein muss – sondern zeitlos.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3080" data-end="3265">Wo früher Ritter tafelten, wird heute Poulet serviert. Wo einst Wachposten standen, genießt man heute den Blick ins Tal. Das ist kein Bruch mit der Geschichte – es ist ihre Fortsetzung.</p>
<h5 data-start="3272" data-end="3305">🌄 Ein perfekter Tagesausflug</h5>
<p data-start="3307" data-end="3343"><strong data-start="3307" data-end="3343">So sieht ein idealer Besuch aus:</strong></p>
<ol data-start="3345" data-end="3660">
<li data-start="3345" data-end="3446">
<p data-start="3348" data-end="3446"><strong data-start="3348" data-end="3362">Vormittag:</strong> Spaziergang zur Burgruine, Entdeckung der Mauern, Fotos mit <a title="A walk through Erstfeld, URI, Switzerland" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/a-walk-through-erstfeld-uri-switzerland/">Blick auf das Reusstal.</a></p>
</li>
<li data-start="3447" data-end="3521">
<p data-start="3450" data-end="3521"><strong data-start="3450" data-end="3461">Mittag:</strong> Abstieg zur Pouletburg, Hunger mitbringen, Zeit mitbringen.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="3522" data-end="3660">
<p data-start="3525" data-end="3660"><strong data-start="3525" data-end="3540">Nachmittag:</strong> Noch ein Kaffee, vielleicht ein Verdauungsspaziergang durchs Dorf – und das Gefühl, einen Ort wirklich erlebt zu haben.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h5 data-start="3667" data-end="3678">✨ Fazit</h5>
<p data-start="3680" data-end="3878">Attinghausen zeigt, wie wunderbar Geschichte und Alltag zusammengehen können. Die <strong data-start="3762" data-end="3775">Burgruine</strong> erzählt von Macht, Feuer und Wandel. Die <strong data-start="3817" data-end="3831">Pouletburg</strong> von Genuss, Gemeinschaft und Bodenständigkeit.</p>
<p data-start="3880" data-end="4026">Und vielleicht ist das die schönste Erkenntnis:<br data-start="3927" data-end="3930">Nicht jede Burg muss restauriert werden – manche dürfen einfach <strong data-start="3994" data-end="4025">über ein gutes Essen warten</strong>.</p>

<h5 data-start="658" data-end="690">⛰️ A Castle Born Around 1100</h5>
<p data-start="692" data-end="1075">Perched on a rocky rise in the village of Attinghausen (canton Uri), the <a href="https://uri.swiss/oeffentliche-einrichtung/burgruine-attinghausen"><strong data-start="765" data-end="791">Burgruine Attinghausen</strong> </a>stands as a tangible echo of medieval times. The earliest fortified structure here dates back to before 1100, and by the 13th century, the mighty stone castle — complete with a large tower and defensive ring walls — dominated the village skyline.</p>
<p>Visitors today can still climb around the ruins and imagine how life might have been inside those thick walls — from the hearth-warmed rooms with ornate tiled stoves to the panoramic views that once scanned the Reuss Valley below. Archaeological digs have turned up fascinating relics from daily life in the castle as well as hints of its dramatic past, including layers of burnt debris suggesting a fire might have brought its end around the mid-1300s.</p>
<p>The founders of&nbsp; Attinghausen Castle are unknown. Around 1240, the barons of Attinghausen/Schweinsberg, originally from the Emmental region, took over its construction. Prominent members of the family were Knights Werner II and Johannes. Both also served as Landammanns (chief magistrates). From 1337, Johannes held the Imperial Court in Flüelen. Another branch of the family resided in the nearby Schweinsberg tower house. The tower was built around 1200, and the palace and the surrounding wall approximately 50 years later. During excavations in 1887/99 and 1979, numerous archaeological finds were collected and compiled. The finds are now exhibited in the Historical Museum of Uri, Altdorf. It encompasses the thematic groups of weapons, household goods, crafts, clothing, and pouches. Most of the finds could be classified and dated to the castle&#8217;s main construction phases around 1100 and 1200 to 1250. The core of the complex is the 11.6&#215;11.6 meter tower, which formerly had a high entrance. &lt;the tower was probably once at least 22to 25 meters high.</p>
<p data-start="1570" data-end="1760">Part of what makes Attinghausen special isn’t just its stone ruins, but that the castle isn’t isolated on a distant hilltop — it literally watches over the village and all who pass under it.</p>
<h5 data-start="1762" data-end="1804">🍗 A Name With Local Flair: Pouletburg</h5>
<p data-start="1806" data-end="2216">Just a short stroll from the ruin’s base, you’ll find <strong data-start="1860" data-end="1901"><span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Pouletburg</span></span></span></strong>, a restaurant whose name is a playful nod to the old castle (<strong data-start="1963" data-end="1973">“burg”</strong> means <em data-start="1980" data-end="1988">“castle” in German, and “Poulet” means “chicken”</em>). It’s as if locals and visitors alike have taken the spirit of the place — historic, communal, rooted — and given it a deliciously modern twist.</p>
<h5 data-start="1762" data-end="1804">Pouletburg has been welcoming diners for decades with its signature dish: traditional <strong data-start="2304" data-end="2325">Poulet im Chörbli</strong> — chicken served in that famous Swiss-style basket with the sauce that has become something of a culinary institution in Uri.</h5>
<p data-start="361" data-end="690"><strong data-start="361" data-end="390">This founding year (1905)</strong> comes from directory data — it <em data-start="422" data-end="489">may reflect when the business entity was established in some form</em>, but detailed historical background (like when it first started serving its iconic <em data-start="573" data-end="592">Poulet im Chörbli</em>) isn’t widely documented online in authoritative sources.</p>
<p data-start="693" data-end="1029">Many travel and review sites focus on the <em data-start="735" data-end="774">tradition and decades-long popularity</em> of the restaurant’s chicken specialty rather than its precise history. Some external travel/food blogs mention it’s been serving its signature dish for <strong data-start="923" data-end="943">around 60+ years</strong>, but they don’t cite formal founding documents.</p>
<p data-start="2218" data-end="2657">Whether you’re stopping by after a day of hiking or simply exploring central Switzerland, it’s hard to resist the combo of storybook scenery and comfort food.</p>
<h5 data-start="2659" data-end="2683">🪵 A Perfect Day Out</h5>
<p data-start="2685" data-end="2722">Here’s how you might plan your visit:</p>
<ol data-start="2724" data-end="3470">
<li data-start="2724" data-end="2984">
<p data-start="2727" data-end="2984"><strong data-start="2727" data-end="2751">Morning at the Ruin:</strong> Wander the ruins of Burgruine Attinghausen, explore the old tower remains, soak up views of the valley and the Alps, and maybe even have a little picnic on the grassy spots beside the old walls.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2724" data-end="2984"><strong data-start="2989" data-end="3023">Afternoon Feast at Pouletburg:</strong> Walk down to Pouletburg — the walk itself is a gentle reminder of how life has moved downhill from castle defenses to laid-back meals. Feast on classic poulet dishes in cozy dining halls (or on the terrace when the weather’s right).</li>
<li data-start="2724" data-end="2984"><strong data-start="3299" data-end="3323">Explore More of Uri:</strong> With plenty of other landmarks nearby — from lakeside trails to local museums — your day can easily stretch into an unforgettable Swiss adventure.</li>
</ol>
<h5 data-start="3472" data-end="3501">📸 Why This Pairing Works</h5>
<p data-start="3503" data-end="3557">What makes this combo unique is the <strong data-start="3539" data-end="3556">juxtaposition</strong>:</p>
<ul data-start="3559" data-end="3771">
<li data-start="3559" data-end="3643">
<p data-start="3561" data-end="3643">👑 <strong data-start="3564" data-end="3583">Ancient history</strong> — stepping into a ruin that once housed knights and nobles.</p>

<li data-start="3644" data-end="3771">
<p data-start="3646" data-end="3771">🍽️ <strong data-start="3650" data-end="3673">Laid-back tradition</strong> — ending up in a local restaurant where generations have shared chicken dinners and good stories.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3773" data-end="3901">It’s a reminder that history isn’t just preserved in stone — it’s carried on in local food, names, and community traditions too.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>This is an oasis of peace and relaxation</h5>
<p><a href="https://etzlihuette.ch/">The Etzlihut</a> is nestled in the wild mountains of <a title="A Stroll in URI, Switzerland" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/a-stroll-in-uri-switzerland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the canton of Uri,</a> near the border with Graubünden (Grison)</p>
<p>The beautiful mountain landscape around the Ettzlihut offers something for everyone: families, hikers, school classes, climbers, mountaineers, snowmobilers, and ski tourers. An ideal base for a stay of several days, a training, or a touring week.</p>
<p><a title="Swiss Family Koepf Hike to 2300 m. Mount Bristen" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/stories/swiss-family-koepf-hike-2300-m/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">My family and I did this hike a few years back and loved it,</a> It took us about 5 hours to get to the Hut. Upon arrival in the evening, we had supper there and enjoyed a glass of prosecco in the hot tub! Early next morning, we kept going towards the ridge above us to start the descent on the other side of it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Introduction</b></span></h4>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Let me introduce you to the Gotthard region—a slice of Switzerland that’s part historic marvel, natural wonder, and part workout disguised as a vacation. Nestled in the Alps, it’s where glaciers whisper their ancient secrets, tunnels defy physics, and goats shamelessly steal your snacks.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">I came here looking for adventure, a touch of history, and maybe an Instagram-worthy selfie. What I found was blisters, stories I’ll be telling for years, and an alarming respect for Swiss cheese.</span><span id="more-14560"></span></p>
<h5 class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Act I: The Devil’s in the Details</b></span></h5>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">The Gotthard Pass has been Europe&#8217;s main artery for centuries. Merchants, pilgrims, and armies slogged through this treacherous route, driven by ambition and a deep mistrust of Google Maps. At the center of it all is the <i>Devil’s Bridge</i>, a structure so legendary it comes with its own infernal backstory.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_14564" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14564" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-14564 size-medium" src="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/th-1-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/th-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/th-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/th-1.jpg 770w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-14564" class="wp-caption-text">devils bridge</p></div>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">The legend goes like this: the villagers needed a bridge but lacked the know-how. So naturally, they called in the Devil. He agreed to build it but demanded the first soul to cross as payment. Clever villagers sent a goat instead. The Devil, not a fan of loopholes, hurled a boulder in fury. (Frankly, I’d have just demanded my consulting fee.)</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Standing on the bridge, I marveled at its timeless design and the fact that it hadn’t been renamed “Goat Memorial Bridge.” History is weird like that.</span></p>
<h5 class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Act II: Nature’s Gym Membership</b></span></h5>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">If the <a title="Above the Gotthard Pass 2200 m." href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/above-the-gotthard-pass-2200-m/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Gotthard Pass</a> is the region’s historical heart, its trails are the lungs. Lungs that you’ll need in excellent shape, by the way, because every hike here feels like a fitness test disguised as a scenic stroll.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Take my trek to Lake Lucendro. The guidebook called it a “moderate hike,” which I quickly realized was Swiss for “you might survive, but don’t count on it.” As I trudged uphill, wheezing like an old accordion, I questioned every life choice that led me to this point.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">But then—oh, the payoff! The lake appeared, shimmering like a jewel cradled by rugged peaks. I collapsed on a rock, ate a sandwich, and tried to look contemplative for a photo while secretly hoping my legs wouldn’t mutiny on the way down.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">on the way down I approached an old, what looked like a cattle stall or barn, being curious, I peeked through the cracks of the wooden walls, and what I saw almost freaked me out.. a 50mm canon, all rusty, but still facing SW, left over from the <a title="Explosive World Changing Events of The 1940s – Part 1" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/the-world-changing-events-of-the-1940s/">second world war!</a> Camouflaged by a barn!</span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-14561 size-medium" src="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9527556c6f16b5203a78430fae51c63d-300x232.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="232" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9527556c6f16b5203a78430fae51c63d-300x232.jpg 300w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9527556c6f16b5203a78430fae51c63d.jpg 741w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<div id="attachment_14562" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14562" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-14562 size-medium" src="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/hidden-swiss-bunkers-196-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/hidden-swiss-bunkers-196-300x228.jpg 300w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/hidden-swiss-bunkers-196-768x583.jpg 768w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/hidden-swiss-bunkers-196.jpg 790w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-14562" class="wp-caption-text">Canon Barn &amp; Rock Camouflage</p></div>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Of course, the wildlife here doesn’t care about your existential crises. Marmots chirped at me like gossiping neighbors, by the way. They make a great muscle &amp; joint pain relieving ointment with the fat of the marmots) and ibexes surveyed my sweaty form with unearned superiority. And then there was the goat—a bold creature with no respect for personal space or property rights. After a tense negotiation involving my granola bar, we parted ways. I’m pretty sure he won.</span></p>
<h5 class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Act III: Culture Shock (But in a Good Way)</b></span></h5>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Gotthard culture is a delightful mix of German precision, Italian flair, and Romansh mystery, all wrapped in a blanket of Alpine charm. And nowhere is this more evident than in the food.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">In a tiny village inn, I was introduced to the holy<a title="The Swiss regional comfort foods (The Local.ch)" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/the-swiss-regional-comfort-foods-you-just-have-to-try/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> trinity of Swiss cuisine:</a> bread, cheese, and stories. The locals served up fondue with a side of folklore, including a tale about the <i>Tschäggättä</i>—mysterious Alpine spirits that roam the valleys in winter. Supposedly, they scare off evil spirits and the occasional tourist who overstays their welcome. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">I also tried a local specialty, famous in the <a title="The Gold Treasure in Erstfeld, Switzerland" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/the-gold-treasure-from-erstfeld-switzerland/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">canton of Uri</a>, the canton where you either start your journey through the Gotthard or end up starting from the <a title="Sun, palms, great food, you will never guess!" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/sun-palms-great-food-will-never-guess/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tessin, the Italian part of Switzerland.</a></span></p>
<div id="attachment_14563" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14563" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-14563 size-medium" src="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/urner-rispor-helvetibox-uri-300x238.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="238" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/urner-rispor-helvetibox-uri-300x238.jpg 300w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/urner-rispor-helvetibox-uri.jpg 756w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-14563" class="wp-caption-text">Riis &amp; Poor</p></div>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">The fondue itself was a revelation. Molten cheese, crusty bread, and the unspoken rule that dropping your bread into the pot meant you’d either sing or pay for everyone’s drinks. I didn’t drop my bread, but I may have sung anyway. The yodeling lesson didn’t hurt either.</span></p>
<h5 class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Conclusion</b></span></h5>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.ticino.ch/de/commons/details/Die-Gotthard-Bergstrecke/140209.html">The Gotthard region</a> is many things: a gateway to history, a playground for nature lovers, and a test of your cardiovascular endurance. It’s where you can stand on a bridge built by (allegedly) Satan, share your lunch with an overly enthusiastic goat, and end your day with cheese-induced euphoria.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">As I boarded the train home, sore but happy, I couldn’t help but smile. The Gotthard isn’t just a place you visit; it’s a place that visits you back—in the form of stories, laughter, and the occasional phantom muscle cramp.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">So, pack your boots, bring your appetite, and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. And maybe keep an extra granola bar handy. You never know when you’ll meet a hungry goat.</span></p>The post <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/the-gotthard-diaries-goats-glaciers-and-getting-lost-in-switzerland/">The Gotthard Diaries: Goats, Glaciers, and Getting Lost in Switzerland</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website">Food, Travel, and Stories from a Swiss Chef Who Cooked Around the World </a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The history of the Gotthard Zander began in 2007 when it became clear that the construction of the new railway link through the Alps (NRLA) could make the purest mountain water economically usable. A handful of visionaries came together and developed the business idea of farmed edible fish from Urner&#8217;s Erstfeld. There were many ideas in the room: a </span><span class="s1">Beer brewery, a mineral water production, a wellness oasis, or a surfing center. In the end, the freshwater edible fish won the race. The Basis 57 Sustainable Water Use GmbH was founded, which a few months later became the <span class="s2">Basis 57 Sustainable Water Use AG</span>. With the plan to set up one of the largest fish farms in Switzerland, the company began research and development work.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Around 14 years later, the former vision has become reality: Switzerland&#8217;s largest pike-perch farm is located directly at the north portal of the world&#8217;s longest railway tunnel, called the  <a class="thirstylink" title="Planning a trip to Europe?

Diese moderne, anspruchsvolle Bar-Lounge gehört Roland Gasser und seiner Tochter Jacqueline Muheim und wird von ihnen betrieben. Sie finden Roland hinter der bar und Jacky im Service.</p>
<p>Dieser gepflegte Ort ist wirklich ein Familien-Teamwork-Efford, Jackys Ehemann Andy kümmert sich um Werbung, Marketing und Sound, Faria, Roland’s Gattin, kümmert sich um die Administration.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>Roland ist ein Weltklasse-Koch. Er begann im Clipper Restaurant in Zürich, dann im Palace Hotel in St. Moritz und reiste dann über den Ozean auf die<a title="Freeport, Bahamas" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/portfolio/freeport-bahamas/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Bahamas</a>, von dort in die USA, wo er in erstklassigen Resorts in Zentral und Südflorida arbeitete.</p>
<p>Vor über 24 Jahren aus den USA in die Schweiz zurückgekehrt, begannen sie in <a title="Castle of Nünegg, Lieli, Switzerland – 1" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/stories/castle-of-nunegg-lieli-switzerland-1/">Lieli, Kanton Luzern</a>, und zogen dann nach Altdorf, Kanton URI, um das Restaurant Lehnhof zu übernehmen, da der Lehnhof nach 10 Jahren wegen größerer Renovierungsarbeiten geschlossen wurde übernahmen Sie das Hotel zum Schwarzen Loewen, ebenfalls in Altdorf. Nach 6 Jahren musste das Loewen Hotel auch umfassend renoviert werden, und während dieser Zeit wurde das Konzept „Fizz“ geboren!</p>
<p>Der Ort ist lebhaft mit einer gemischten Menge von Jung und Alt, es gibt eine gute Auswahl auf dem menü wie<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammkuchen"> Flammkuchen</a>, <a title="Hotel Caesar or Salad?!" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/hotel-caesar-salad/">Caesar-Salat</a>, Poulet-Schnitzel-Brot, Beef Tartar um einige zu erwähnen. Probieren Sie auch eines der täglichen Getränkespezialitäten!
