    "Schwarzwasser" by Franz Gertsch

    The church of the widely scattered community of Rüschegg (the districts are called Rüschegg Heubach, Rüschegg Graben, Rüschegg Gambach, Hirschhorn) is located on a hill in a truly magical place. Great view, and the church as a building just seems to really belong here. In the church there is a free three-part picture by the local painter Franz Gertsch (museum-franzgertsch.ch) - also very impressive.

    The Peddler of Rüschegg

    Hunger and poverty characterized large parts of this region in the first half of the 19th century. 1816 was even known as the "year without a summer" due to the devastating consequences of a volcanic eruption. Crop failures and storms contributed to the area along the upper Schwarzwasser River sinking into poverty.

    To find a way out of this hardship, people were inventive. New cheese dairies, mills, craft businesses, and the rise of peddling helped the population out of their misery.
