The Eco-Museum "Festungswerke oberer Buchberg" consists of a protected ensemble of 9 historic fighting structures from 1939 and 1940/41. The system with dams for flooding the Linth plain, with tank ditches, tank traps, bunkers and a large rock work has been preserved as a whole. Since 2009, the main site at Mösliflue has housed the "Musée résistance suisse 1940", which tells the story of how, at the height of the country's distress at the hands of Hitler's Germany, courageous men and women of all parties and denominations came together to prepare in secret for non-violent resistance following an enemy occupation. These preparations continued during the Cold War until 1990. Under the code name "ZL Burg", the Mösliflue plant was the army's material depot for the resistance regions of eastern Switzerland during that time. The 50-year history of the resistance is told on 24 panels and in several documentary films.
