    Dietikon tackles construction of the stream adventure trail in Grunschen

    The town of Dietikon is embarking on the construction of a stream adventure trail along the Reppisch watercourse in Grunschen Park. Construction work will begin on 7 July, the town council announced in a press release. The natural Kneipp facility with a maximum water depth of 20 centimetres should be completed by late summer.

    The construction costs are estimated at CHF 160,000 in the press release. Around 110,000 francs of this will be covered by the Canton of Zurich’s Office for Water, Energy and Air. The remaining 50,000 francs will be covered by the town of Dietikon.

    The stream adventure trail will have a stainless steel handrail and three entrances and exits for walking with or against the current. Rootstocks and boulders will form seating areas on the embankment. Boulders will also be placed in the water to create different currents. They can also serve as shelter for juvenile fish.

  • Mollis airfield on the upswing

    Mollis airfield on the upswing

    Parcel no. 2487 at Mollis airfield is an undeveloped plot of land with an area of over 18,000 m². As part of the new utilisation planning, it was designated as work zone A. The Glarus North municipal council has commissioned a masterplan for this area, which is being drawn up by KCAP Architects and Planners in Zurich. The focus is on aviation-related businesses in particular, which should complement the existing ecosystem in a meaningful way.

    A site with a multifaceted identity
    Mollis airfield is much more than just an airfield. It is also a business location, home to innovative aviation companies, a meeting place for dedicated aviation clubs and an important local recreation area in the Glarus region. The six companies based there today, including Rega, Heli Linth and Kopter Group AG, provide over 150 jobs and stand for technological expertise in the field of aviation and rescue. This economic profile is complemented by the active use of the site by the Mollis motorised flight group, the Glarnerland gliding group and the model flying group.

    Past as a foundation for the future
    Mollis airfield can look back on over 100 years of history. Since the first landing in 1916, the site has repeatedly been the scene of significant developments – from Walter Mittelholzer’s pioneering flights to its use by the Swiss Air Force. Today, the site is used for civilian purposes and is committed to safe, balanced and economically viable operations. The history of the airfield creates an emotional bond and is an essential part of its identity.

    Sustainable development through a clear strategy
    The common goal of the municipality of Glarus Nord and Mollis Airport AG is to drive forward the development of the site while taking economic, ecological, agricultural and public interests into account. The masterplan takes into account both infrastructural requirements and potential for events, leisure use and security of supply. The well-connected location and the special combination of aviation, industry and recreational space make the Mollis site a promising development location in the canton of Glarus.

    A location with a signal effect for the region
    The Mollis Airfield Masterplan provides a strategic basis for attracting new companies, strengthening existing structures and harmonising usage interests in the long term. The close collaboration between the municipality, owners and MAAG is a prime example of co-operative regional development. Mollis airfield is not just a place for aviation, but a future-oriented location with charisma, diversity and responsibility – far beyond the canton.
