Recordist's notes
The bourgeois, entrepeneur and revolutionary Johann Rudolf Meyer Sohn developed a large tunnel system to make swamp land dry and to get clean water for his factory, where he colored silk (http://www.meyerschestollen.ch/stollen/). The city museum of Aarau made some parts of the tunnels accessible for the public. Here you here a walk through the narrow tunnel.
