Grenchen in Jura Mountains A Blend of Rural and City Life
Grenchen in the Jura region of northeastern Switzerland is noted as a model where rural and urban living fuse. Eight in ten workers in its 12 000 population work in quality watch factories yet the town remains smoke free and electrified. A fruit farm sits within two minutes of the center and markets draw produce from nearby farms. Grenchen’s history traces back to Celtic times with early grain milling roots.
