The Swiss town of Vechi is located right on the coast of the Geneva Lake, the second name of which Lehman, between the cities of Montreux and Lausan.
Many tourists are known for this city thanks to Charlie Chaplin, a monument to which was established by local authorities. In his honor, Square was named, where the monument himself was located. His family still lives in the country, not far from Vevei.
This is a very old city whose history goes to the ancient world. In the medieval era, the city, like the coast of the lake, had a great strategic value. Currently this is one of the largest cities of Switzerland.
The city has a museum of clocks with the largest collection of Europe, in which there are currently more than two thousand species.
In Veveo, the Russian Church of St. Barbara, built by Count Shuvalov and lit back in 1878. Moreover, the Count built a church for its own funds, in memory of the victim of the wife of the Warvara. His daughter Varvara was buried for the church. A very beautiful architecture is distinguished by the Cathedral of St. Martin, I personally liked it very much, so I advise you to see. It is necessary to visit the Museum of Old Vevei, where they submitted a distance dedicated to the history of the city and the exhibits of the wine fraternity.
The slopes of the mountains are planted by vineyards, because thanks to the fact that the city is surrounded by mountains, almost subtropical climate reigns here. Some terrace vineyards are guarded by UNESCO, the Swiss wine is very high quality and appreciate it no less than French or Italian. But all types of wine try it possible only in Switzerland, because it is exported less than a percent of the wines.
At the entrance to Vechi there is a headquarters of the world-famous Chocolate organization Nestle, which in the 1980s opened an alimentarium, or a meal museum.
On the waterfront, a monument is installed right in the water in the form of a large fork, it was established in honor of the decade of the museum.
The length of the embankment is about three kilometers, there are always many tourists and citizens, because landscapes are masterpiece here. The shore is always swimming majestic swans. And the mountains are hung with their slopes and vertices. Along the embankment, a monument to the great writer Gogola, who worked here and lived for some time.
Along the entire embankment, very interesting trees grow, which in the spring look very bizarre without leaves.
