To experience in Uri

The Antonini quarry in Wassen is a unique testament to the heyday of Uri’s quarries. It is synonymous with hard work on stone, Italian stonemasons and elaborate products that were exported to Asia.

The open-air museum is located above the railway station in Wassen. It provides an insight into a branch of industry that shaped the uplands of Uri for about 50 years after the 1882 opening of the Gotthard railway.

An exhibition, various information panels and old machinery, plus a biotope and a big fireplace right next to the Gottardo hiking path, familiarise visitors with this branch of industry in an easy-to-follow way.
