Information for visitors

Our Symposium is located near the train station of Brienz (approx. 200 meters) and the boat station and easy to reach for those traveling by car.

There are some parking spots nearby (parking deck Brienz Rothorn Bahn, train and boat station Brienz, Brienz cinema theater, "Bären" / "Fischerbrunnen" and "Rössliplatz") are only a short walk away from the main spot on the "Cholplatz"...

The wood sculptors arrive in Brienz on Tuesday at noon. After organizational information, the logs are distributed and the workstations are set up.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the artists work mostly with rough equipment to shape the logs. From Wednesday on, whenever possible, the work should be done with hammer and chisel...

Visit the symposium and watch the artists at work. An entertainment program as well as catering facilities invite you to linger on the shores of Lake Brienz.

If you want to follow the artistic work from start to finish, it is best to stay overnight in Brienz and visit the symposium every day.
