Inn

The Bollenwees inn

Guests were catered for in the Sennhütte as early as around 1800. After being sold from a hereditary estate, the Alp went to the Eugst Corporation in 1903. A cooperative founded as a result leased the alp under the condition of catering. For the hay store, the lessee was allowed to charge a tax of 50 cents for the overnight stay. In 1916 a small inn was built with 344 frontages for the shareholders and 4,715.60 francs, which burned down in 1937 after a burglary. In 1938 the inn was built at the current location and the alp and inn were leased separately.
