Johanna Spyri

The picturesque village of Hirzel (Horgen) enthroned high above Lake Zurich is where the world-famous author of “Heidi” spent her childhood. Follow the internationally renounced author's literary traces through the locally dedicated Johanna Spyri Museum, take a look at the house where Hanni (Spyri's childhood nickname) was born and walk to the nearby Spyri grove immersing yourself in the Heidi-founders life.

The Johanna Spyri Museum is suitable for young and old and provides access to more than the well-known knowledge about this dazzling writer: the exhibition illuminates her reserved and humbled dedication to the works beyond the "Heidi" novels, family history and her social commitment.
