Broken Chair is a monumental wooden sculpture by the Swiss artist Daniel Berset, which was constructed by the carpenter Louis Genève. It consists of 5.5 tons of wood and is 12 meters high. It shows a huge chair with a broken leg and stands opposite the Palace of Nations in Geneva. Source: Wikipedia

The chair is a call to the international community to sign the Landmine Convention, support the victims and evacuate the affected areas. Source: handicap-international.ch/de/die-geschichte-von-dem-broken-chair

Lake Geneva waterfront in Nyon

Highlight • Lake

Let your gaze wander over the glittering water of Lake Geneva, enjoy the cozy atmosphere in the beautiful town of Nyon and treat yourself to a piece of cake in one of the cafés. What more do you need for a successful hiking break? Incidentally, the 320-kilometer Jura High Trail, which starts near Zurich, ends in Nyon.
