Re: Twins Heidi & Liesl?
in reply to a message by Amanda Frances
a little bit too much for me. ;)
just for clarification:
-Heidi is a traditional Swiss name and the title of a book by Johanna Spyri, Switzerland's most famous children's book author.
-Liesl on the other hand is a short form of Elisabeth and it is/was mostly used in Germany.
-"Lederhosen": They were worn by men of the Alpine and surrounding regions, including Austria, the highlands and mountains of Southern Germany (Bavaria) and the German-speaking part of Italy known as South Tyrol, but not in Switzerland.
Today they are a traditional form of clothing worn only to folk festivals.
