Brienz, Switzerland is famous for wood carving, music boxes , violins and cuckoo clocks. Before tourism provided an additional source of income to the farming community, inhabitants were poor and working conditions far from pretty. Bu...t as it so happens quite often, famine fires up the imagination. A self-taught wood carver began selling his goods produced during long winter months to tourists almost two centuries ago. He laid the foundation to what became Switzerland's premier wood carving area.
