    You were on a Swiss roll there, PDAZ.

    Swiss writer, Erich von Däniken, wrote a best-selling work "Chariots of the Gods?", which had the entertaining theory that human interaction with ancient astronauts led to religion and our most impressive ancient monuments. The answer to the title's question may have been no, but in 2005, von Däniken established a theme park, pedalling the ideas in his famous book, near Interlaken.

    Interlaken is a village in the Bernese Oberland at the foot of Mount Jungfrau. Every 12 or 13 years (it seems to vary), the Unspunnenfest has much stone-throwing, wrestling and, of course, yodelling.
