Swiss village of Aarwangen in ding-dong over challenge to cowbells
The gentle tinkling of cowbells is a sound almost everyone associates with Switzerland.It conjures up images of peaceful pastures, with majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance.
But what if those bells are right outside your bedroom window day and night, and rather than tinkle gently, clang loudly around the necks of 20 or 30 cows?
That is the dilemma many Swiss communities are facing.
