The charm of ugliness

Chris Iseli

The Wiggerspitz campsite is wedged between a railway bridge, a river, a bypass, and the A1 motorway. You wouldn't imagine a dignified place to stay to be anything but. Yet, there are people who have pitched their tents here for months. Why on earth would anyone spend their free time in this inhospitable place?
