SWISS COW BELLS

TREICHELN and GLOCKEN


Cow with "Glocken"
Cowbells are worn as standard by alpine cattle when left to graze in alpine meadows. They serve the purpose of being able to easily find the odd cow that has wandered off for a nibble in that even greener pasture over yonder. A decorative version of the cowbell is worn for festive occasions such as the colorful spring and winter cow drives, taking the cattle up to the high pastures in the spring and back to the valley pastures in the fall.

They make great decorations for your home, dog's cart, or for prizes for canine competitions and clubs. In fact on some of the medium sized bells, an engraved plaque can be attached, personalizing the bell for the occasion. Please let us know if you would like to have an engraved plaque on your bell and we will be happy arrange this for you.
Tradition states that the alpine dairy herdsmen must relieve their cows of their large festive Treicheln and carry them themselves the last kilometer to the alpine huts where they will spend the summer months
   
The bells come in all shapes and sizes and although we typically stock only the small and medium sizes, we will gladly order the larger bells upon request. Therefore, if you do not see the size or style you would like, please contact us.
