Incoherency

[edit]

What did these mean? I removed them since they didn't make sense.

" 10 teachers and teacher (half in the vollamt) work with these children."

"Momentarily (since 2000) both the communal president , as well as the Kirchgemeindepraesident."

Transportation

From Interlaken, it has acces to the BOB (Berner Oberland-Bahn) to loud wells, from there with the WAB (Wengernalpbahn) to whom gene. Also has passes over the Wengernalp, Kleine Scheidegg is and Grindelwald.

I would assume that "loud wells" is a calque of "Lauterbrunnen," and that "whom gene" likewise refers to "Wengen" ("wen-gen"). 2601:182:CD00:15D0:C905:6545:C736:A9CB (talk) 18:52, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wengen in Switzerland; Wengen in Austria

[edit]

The picture titled "Wengen in its setting" does not show Wengen, Switzerland, but Wengen in Italy (Südtirol) See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wengen_%28S%C3%BCdtirol%29 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.61.64 (talk) 01:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct in the sense of it being the wrong photo (which I'll remove), but note that the other Wengen is in Austria; not Italy. :) --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 04:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recreational part: advertising?

[edit]

The part on recreation in Wengen reads like its from a tourist guide... It should be rewritten! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.181.252.232 (talk) 14:41, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Famous people

[edit]

"many historic figures have visited Wengen: Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Adolf Hitler" - do we have an accurate citation for this - the actual cite seems rather brief. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.26.16 (talk) 20:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the reference is to Beattie and the full reference is in the sources section. If you wish to fact-check, go ahead and click the isbn number and it will bring you to page from which you can link to google books to read the book. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 21:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I read the reference and it is very clear that the sentence you cite refers to the Alps in general, not Wengen. It would have been strange indeed if Julius Caesar (and Charlemagne, whom you omitted) had been able to visit a place that didn't even exist.Lukati (talk) 20:02, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of car-free resort towns

[edit]

In the "travel" section, it reads "The only other resorts in the Alps to follow the restrictions on vehicles are Zermatt, Saas Fee and Avoriaz..." I know this to be incorrect; Murren is another example of a car-free resort town in the Alps, and I believe there are more. The citation listed is a book on skiing published in 2000, which would seem to be out of date. I propose that the text be changed to something less definitive, such as "Other resorts in the Alps that restrict vehicles include Zermatt..." Thoughts?

Yes, that's largely true and I've reworded. The source used there didn't mention Murren, but I've tacked it on after the footnote and will find a source for it at a later time. Victoria (talk) 13:34, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
