Absinthe myth: Stories and Rituals in the Green Fairy

"Die Grüne Fee" is the first legal absinthe bar in Switzerland and is located in Solothurn. Let yourself be inspired by the culture of this herbal elixir on a guided tour.

Absinthe was discovered in the Val-de-Travers in the middle of the 18th century and soon became a fashionable drink for Parisian bohemians. The green fairy was banned in most European countries at the beginning of the 20th century and survived underground for almost 100 years.
