About Hacking Villa Diesbach

Hacking Villa Diesbach (formerly known as Gasthaus Diesbach) is a protected monument dating back from the 1800s. The building is a local landmark and is now reused as a new hub for IT and education in Glarus Süd. For a long time it served the international guests visiting the textile industry of Glarus Süd as well as the spectacular waterfall nearby. Now its door is open for people interested in the latest technology such as IPv6 and renewable-energy hosting.
