The artillery fortress Heldsberg was part of the border fortifications in the Rhine Valley. Built into a rocky crest and with its four built-in guns of 7.5 cm it dominated the southern part of the Lake of Constance in the north and the bridges over the Rhine up to Montlingen in the south. Seven built-in machine guns and other infantry weapons as well as antitank guns in bunkers outside the fortification covered the approach. With galleries of 1000 m length and a height difference of 160 m, Heldsberg was one of the biggest border fortifications of Switzerland. The garrison counted 200, the one for exterior defence 400 hands. Constructed 1939 - 1941, operating until 1990, the fortress was handed over to the registered association Festungsmuseum Heldsberg in 1993.

When you enter the Dreamfactory in Degersheim, you imagine yourself in another world - or even in several. While one moment you are still amazed at the props of the great magician Harry Houdini, in the next you stroll through a small winter wonderland, before you smile at the classic cars and a toilet on wheels and finally listen to the sounds of self-playing, mechanical instruments. How many exhibits can be seen on the 3,000 square meters is difficult to say. It's best to stop by and find out for yourself.

With four floors of exhibition space, the Natural History Museum is a great place to discover Eastern Switzerland’s native animals and minerals up close. The walk through exhibits provide for an interactive experience – now also through a digital museum guide in three languages (G, E, F) featuring one knowledge tour and four game tours. Explore Switzerland’s largest 3D topographic model of Eastern Switzerland, surrounded by exhibits of the diverse fauna between Lake Constance and Ringelspitz. In the realm of the bear, there is much to learn not only about Switzerland’s native predator, the cave bear of the Wildkirchli area, but also about the busy life of ant populations. The top floor invites visitors to journey through the story of Life on Earth and meet the Museum’s weightiest object: an original skeleton of an Edmontosaurus. Other exhibits explore the sustainable use of natural resources and technical inventions inspired by nature; lovers of sparkling crystals are in for a treat i
