2016-08-01 1th August! Swiss National Day

1th August!

The Swiss National Day (German: Schweizer Bundesfeier; French: Fête nationale Suisse; Italian: Festa nazionale svizzera; Romansh: Fiasta naziunala Svizra) is the national holiday of Switzerland. The date is inspired by the date of the Federal Charter of 1291, Pacte du Grutli, placed in "early August", when "three alpine cantons swore the oath of confederation" (Schwyz, Uri and Unterwalden), an action which later came to be regarded as the foundation of Switzerland.

A grilled “Cervelat” with its ends cut open in the traditional Swiss manner a 1th August Bread and some other treats to celebrate our country.

Great shot.

All those languages are probably used in Switzerland? I wonder what this is - bread, sausage?
