Ballenberg
Nidwalden mayen (18th c.)

This "Maiensäss" (mayen in French) from Buochs, Canton Nidwalden, was built in 1788. The mayens were - and still are - small dwellings built halfway up the mountain pastures to save the farmer the journey back and forth between his main residence in the valley and the high mountain pastures.
