Off to the forest – or to Ginesta in Winterthur on November 30, 2023

With 2,694 hectares of woodland, Winterthur is the most densely wooded city in Switzerland. Around forty percent of the municipal area is covered by forest. The forest is a green lung, a local recreation area, a regional identity, a source of shade on hot days, a symbol of growth and a place of natural beauty. At the same time, the forest has something mystical about it, is often described in fairy tales as a dangerous, dark place and even the most fearless have flinched in the forest because of an unexpected rustling in the undergrowth.

The inexhaustible source of inspiration: the forest

Markus Bühler, a freelance artist from Rickenbach since 2004, has set himself the task of exploring everything that the forest is for us in one of his well-known long-term projects. What feelings it triggers in us and how these can be concentrated in one picture and transported as an overall experience in many pictures. He took a lot of time to feel the changes in the course of the day with the changing light moods as well as the changing seasons and to press the shutter release at the right moments and in the right places. At this private view, you can exclusively experience the fascinating images that have emerged, some of which have a calming and others a stirring effect, and in which you can immerse yourself deeply.

An evening under the sign of the forest

As a renowned Real Estate company with a new branch opening in Winterthur in spring 2023, we specialize in our built environment. We broker properties, accompany new construction projects and use our expertise to ensure that the increased need for high-quality living space is met in the area of marketing and development with equally high-quality advice.
