KKL - Uffikon

On Sunday, the 11th May, we decided to explore the area on the outskirts of Dagmersellen. Our first stop was the KKL in the neighbouring town of Uffikon. KKL stands for 'Kunst and Kulturen auf dem Land'. This roughly translates into 'Art and Culture of the Land'. We walked around the large farmland and saw many works of art scattered in the fields. The artists are certainly free-spirited, in that they have bizarre ideas and a sense of humour - as you can see in these photos, eg. 'Hangin' around in Beijing'

Through the forest we went along the boardwalk that lead to little huts. We entered the hut to see some seats facing a curtain. The TV began to play, telling us about an aspect of art, then we were told to open the curtain - and wala, we see out the other side of the hut to 'nature art' (a tree, a banana lounge, a bird's nest, etc).

We looked in a hut with bees making honey. The proud owner explained to us all about how the bees make the honey in Swiss-German, but we got the general idea anyway.

There is also a winery on the property, and they tell us to have a 'creative processing break' at the bar while trying the wines. The wines are flavoured with fruits, which would make them perfect for a summer's day.

A former tobacco barn has been transformed into a fantastic spectacle. Walking in, the loud operatic music begins and the musical comes to life. This creation is a combination of sheep, wool, music, movement. A sight to behold - see below.

After leaving KKL we drove around the area, passing through villages such as Triengen and Willisau. We then visited the picnic area in Dagmersellen where there is a foot-bath for reviving tired feet.
