Heavy Metal Garden

The only experience of its kind in the world

A true highlight awaits you here: the PC-8000, one of the world’s largest hydraulic excavators. And the special thing is: it is only publicly accessible in Herisau – and you can experience it from very close up, touch it, and even step into the bucket.
A moment that is otherwise reserved for professionals, especially in mining.

What to expect

• Gigantic dimensions: Stand right in front of the PC-8000 and feel how small you are next to real heavy industry
• Walk-in 55 m³ bucket: A photo opportunity that exists only here worldwide
• Technology you can touch: Don’t just look – experience, understand, and marvel

Who is the Heavy Metal Garden ideal for?

• Technology enthusiasts and excavator fans: A must-see, because there is nothing else like it
• Groups and companies: An extraordinary highlight for outings and team events

Make your trip something you don’t experience every day: a one-of-a-kind attraction, right in Eastern Switzerland.
