19C FABULOUS BLACK FOREST BEAR BOOK SLIDE. You are bidding on a stunning Black Forest wood slide that dates to around the end of the 19 th century. This is in terrific condition with only minor bruising and scratches commensurate with age. T are no missing pieces and the slide works well. One side of the bear stand is marked âe~GRINDELWALDâe(tm) this as most Black Forest enthusiasts know is The Eiger village of Switzerland. Dimensions are: 315mm length. 151mm width Height when bears are standing is 118mm. Fully extended length = 450mm Thanks to its magnificent vista and the glacier which once reached right into the basin, Grindelwald attracted its first guests âe" primarily the English âe" from the end of the 18th century onwards. The actual breakthrough of Alpinism occurred in the mid 19th century, and local mountain guides climbed the peaks of the region with English tourists. The first ascent of the Eiger, the most difficult of Alpine mountains took place in 1858 (the north face only in 1938).Road and railway construction made Grindelwald much more accessible towards the end of the 19th century, which in turn also heralded the onset of winter tourism. Many wood carving shops opened as a result of mass tourisim thus making this town one of the forfront attractions in Black Forst carvings. The first cableway in the Alps was built in 1908 on the Wetterhorn. And in 1912, a railway reached the Jungfraujoch via Kleine Scheidegg; today the «Top of Europe» still remains Europeâe(tm)s highest railway station and a world-renowned excursion destination within permanent snow and ice.
