No tanks


There's an army training area in Brugg that's in the woods and next to the river Aare. Most of it appears to be open to the general public to hike around in. Notice the green Robidog garbage can for dog excrement at the far left corner of the bridge (old post about Robidogs here). The pretty building in the background is a restaurant.

There have been a handful of fatal army training related accidents in the last few years and a very recent one involving a boating exercise left four participants dead and one missing (swissinfo story here).

The tank sign is something that you won't see where I live.

Nice photo:)

This restaurant is in fact the old officer's mess - a perfect place for the upcoming "Jugendfest" (youth festival) on July 3rd to watch the fireworks (if it doesn't rain ;-)

That is THE BEST TRAFFIC SIGN EVER!

You should use it for a theme day. I think there is a sign day coming up or something.
