Swiss Highlights
A brick factory chimney stands before a pyramidal mountain entirely gilded by the low light of a winter sunset, its illuminated face in yellow and orange contrasting with a blue-violet sky streaked with long, thin clouds. In the foreground, industrial and residential buildings with snow-covered roofs, surrounded by a snow-covered kitchen garden; a thin crescent moon is visible at the top right of the sky.

Former industrial village · Glarus

Ennenda

2,684 inhabitants, a Gemeindehaus built like a palace in 1889-1890, the chocolate maker Läderach: Ennenda, merged into Glarus since 2011, was carried first by the slate-table trade, then by textiles.

A turquoise-watered river winds between a left bank lined with autumn-foliaged trees, with an industrial chimney and a small bridge, and a right bank occupied by a large pale building with a brown roof; snow-capped peaks stand out in the distance under a clear blue sky.

Village split by a canal · Glarus/SG

Ziegelbrücke

The Linth Canal splits Ziegelbrücke in two: station and railway junction on the St. Gallen side, the Fritz & Caspar Jenny mill (1833), listed in the ISOS inventory, on the Glarus side.
