Art and culture experience 3: Guided city walk
Start: entrance of Kornhauskeller

"Life in view, end in sight' is the motto of a walk on the subject of the end of life, which takes you from the cathedral platform to the Bernese Generation House. We will hear about the customs and rituals of the past, as well as the latest regulations on the end of life - a moving history, a festival of ideas and a cause that brings generations together. The tour ends where some ideas are put into action, and where you will find yourself asking questions you have never asked before.
