6/6/2023 0 Comments Heidi the novelThe book has been translated into more than 50 languages and has inspired millions of children and adults alike.Ī visit to the Heidi Village feels like a journey back in time. Visitors from around the globe come to see Heidi’s world. The cute girl Heidi from Graubünden is still the most famous Swiss and though there are not many reminders of her in town itself, Maienfeld set up a memorial in her honor in the tiny hamlet of “Ober Rofels” now, aptly, called Heidi Village – complete with wandering goats. Who does not know the story of the orphaned child Heidi, her grumpy grandfather – the Alpöhi (Alm-Uncle) – the stubborn goatherd Peter (Geissenpeter), the strict Fräulein Rottenmeier and Klara, the fragile child from Frankfurt who recovered from her illness in the fresh and crisp mountain air? She starts with the following sentence: “From the old and pleasantly situated village of Maienfeld, a footpath winds through green and shady meadows to the foot of the mountains, which on this side look down from their stern and lofty heights upon the valley below.” In the tiny hamlet “Ober Rofels”, visitors will find the Idyll described in Johanna Spyri’s books. If you are interested in Heidi’s books by Johanna Spyri, a visit to Heidi’s house will take you back in time. Heidi Village above Maienfeld is an attractive place.
