Kambly cookies

Sunday was cold and windy and since we spent Saturday shopping in Germany (a post will come soon on that one) we were not planning to do anything other than having a cozy day in. We actually wanted to go for a jog too but we got a slight cold on Sat and because it was raining a bit we decided not to go. Instead we went to visit the Kambly cookie factory in Trubschachen. I know, I know....from jogging to cookies.. not a good deal.
Anyway, anyone who is visiting Switzerland and has a couple of hours, definitely should go to this place because one could get a real taste of the country (literally). There are about 30 different kind of cookies and crackers, which all have free samples so you can try which one to buy. The packages you can buy are 500g each and costs between 8-11 CHF. It's actually a good deal considering a package of 100g costs around 3.50 CHF in the supermarket. You can also get some nice tins with cookies inside which are perfect for gifts.

There is also a cafe where you can have a selection of pastries or get a cup of milk/coffee/tea with the samples. The place is overwhelming so be prepared! I highly suggest to eat something proper before your visit to prepare your stomach.

For kids this place is simply heaven. They can not only have unlimited pieces of cookies but there are some activities for them too. It's Christmas time therefore they had some Christmas cookie baking class for kids only. You probably have to pre-register for these activities I assume.



Besides the workshop there is also a short intro of the history of Kambly and how the famous bratzeli (pretzel cookie) is made.

Address and opening hours can be found on their website.

The next place we scheduled to visit before the holidays is the Lindt chocolate factory.
