Paxmal


In Switzerland in the city of Valenstadt there is a Paxmal monument dedicated to the world on Earth. Its author is Karl Bickel (Karl Bickel) - the most famous Swiss artist who worked for the state post and developed the design of stamps. The sculptor built his masterpiece for a long time (twenty-five years), began as early as 1924 and finished after the end of World War II in 1949. This is the work of his whole life. Thanks to his strength of will, self-discipline and dedication, Carl Bickel was able to complete the construction of the Paxmal Monument. By the way, we learned about the monument not so long ago, as it is high in the mountains in the countryside and the road to it is rather complicated.

What is a monument to Paxmal?

The Paxmal monument is a unique landmark - a palace with mosaics and columns, which is a concept of the human world. His left side stands for earthly life: the human couple in its existence and development, love and the continuation of the family. The right side symbolizes the spiritual life and denotes the awakening, labor, growth and strength of the individual. Paxmal is an amazing work of art that stimulates its visitors to meditation, contemplation and reflection on the meaning and way of life, the social systems of society as a whole.

How to get to the Paxmal Monument?

The monument itself is high in the Swiss Alps , over Lake Valen, in front of the Hurfirsten mountain range. Completely drive up to the famous monument Paxmal impossible, because of an almost vertical dirt road, which leads to the nearest parking. The ascent of the serpentine by car is not very simple, especially on the last four kilometers. The steep and narrow road now and then curves, frightens and teases picturesque landscapes from a height of twelve hundred meters above sea level. From the parking lot to the monument Paxmal it is necessary to go up on foot for seven to ten minutes. Therefore, people with reduced physical ability to get here will be quite difficult.

Having reached the final path, the travelers will be fascinated by the magical views and landscapes that have opened before them. These are beautiful alpine meadows, the mysterious valley of the Rhine, the crystal clear Lake Valen. In winter, by the way, it is full of snow and it's even harder to get there, but experienced travelers and extreme people take a sledge with them, so that when they arrive at their destination, they can ride along the steep slopes of the Swiss Alps. According to experienced tourists, we can say that the Paxmal monument is somewhat reminiscent of Rudolf Steiner's Goetheanum, and the mosaic is the Soviet subway. Here is an unusual comparison.
