TIROLER LANDESMUSEUM FERDINANDEUM/FRISCHAUF, SWAROVSKI KRISTALLWELTEN<br />
about a hundred kilos of gentian roots to make six litres of schnapps. This is why this beverage, which is among the<br />
finest in the Alpine region, also has a hefty price. The gentian schnapps has a very tangy flavour and is a popular remedy<br />
for stomach troubles. Because it is against the law to pick wild gentian, domesticated gentian especially for schnappsmaking<br />
is now grown and harvested in fields.<br />

Swarovski<br />
Crystal Worlds<br />
Awater-spouting Giant that magically<br />
lures visitors into its interior, where<br />
Chambers of Wonder ignite beacons of<br />
imagination, has been successful in becoming<br />
a globally recognised work of art in<br />
just twelve years while attracting more than<br />
seven million visitors to date. The uniqueness<br />
of Swarovski Crystal Worlds is the<br />
dream dreamt – the material avowal of a<br />
corporation to the diversity of ideas that<br />
are unleashed by their material of creation,<br />
ultra-brilliant crystal.<br />
Originally devised as a gift to employees,<br />
collectors, customers and partners in<br />
honour of the 100 th anniversary of the<br />
founding of Swarovski in 1995, Swarovski<br />
Crystal Worlds, conceived by André Heller,<br />
have become a place where people from<br />
different backgrounds take pleasure in<br />
their astonishment that is as multi-faceted,<br />
spontaneous and unadulterated as<br />
crystal itself.<br />
