TRAVEL SWITZERLAND A VitraHaus in the hills in Weil am Rhein, outside Basel 30 Holland Herald A taste
of Basel Head to Basel – a new KLM destination – to revel in its artistic peaks and design contrasts, says Anna Whitehouse PHOTOGRAPHY: MARK NIEDERMAN TRAVEL SWITZERLAND “Will I do this forever? No. Just until I die.” Th ese are the words of Basel’s fährimaa (or ferry man), Jacques Th urneysen, the captain of a creaking, engine-less boat that schleps people across the River Rhine on a rickety pulley system. A former cabinet-maker who trained to be a professional gondolier in Venice, 61-year-old Th urneysen epitomises the hard graft that is synonymous with Baselites – come rain or shine, he is there, merrily rebounding off the banks of Grossbasel and Kleinebasel, the city’s two opposing sides. He also wears sandals despite the 10 degree Celsius climes. A city built around the vast, meandering Rhine, locals say Basel sits on the ‘knee’ of the river, although on a map it looks more like a bulbous nose. Either way, water is of the essence in this small hub (167,000 people at the last count) in the northwest of Switzerland. Th ere are 173 ornate fountains, including one depicting a monkey guzzling wine in Andreasplatz, that punctuate the city’s winding, cobbled streets. Th ey each pump out mountainfresh H 2 0 for all and sundry to glug back, and the earthy taste is in many ways superior to the bottled variety (as is the price). Holland Herald 31
