Tips
The Paxmal is Karl Bickel's life's work and pacifist total work of art. The Swiss artist created the work of art between 1924 and 1949. It lies high above Lake Walen in front of the soaring walls of the Churfirsten. The Paxmal is not a place of worship, but a quiet, peaceful place for inner concentration, contemplation and meditation. The left wall of the monument represents life connected to the earth: the human couple in their being and becoming, love and procreation. The right wall is dedicated to the spiritual life: the awakening, the struggling, the beholding and the rising. Very inspiring!
