Erlebnis Sennerei
For a fly-on-the-wall tour of a working dairy, head to the Erlebnis Sennerei. A glass-walled walkway reveals cheese-making processes, stepping from copper vats full of creamy milk to cheese ripening in salt baths. The final products are huge wheels of Tilsiter, Bergkäse and Graukäse, a mouldy grey cheese that is virtually fat-free.
