Visit the Swiss Radiation Museum with a passionate radiant and learn more about the ancient craft of crystal seekers.
Through the tunnels of the old fortress of Naters you will reach the Swiss Radiation Museum. Even the way there is more than worth seeing. Once you have arrived at the museum, you will find unique finds from the radiators, as well as information worth knowing about the craft, the history and the passion of the Swiss radiators. The highlight of the museum is the specially produced film, which you can watch in a multifunctional cinema room.
On the private tour, a passionate radiator tells you about his enthusiasm for crystals. He teaches you about the craft that is needed to extract crystals from the rocks as unharmed as possible, for example. You will learn how the crystals were formed, what a fissure looks like and where the largest finding areas are to be found.
