"She wears the old-town Zurich panorama as a body painting. She has over 1000 Facebook fans. And she is the namesake of the most famous of Swiss girls, “Heidi”, whose fictional tales were written by Johanna Spyri in Zurich: Our Heidi, the hotel cow, looks out in sunshine or in rain from the balcony of the Hotel Adler, moos silently at the photographing tourists in the Niederdorf and supervises the welfare of the hotel guests.
The artist Heinz Blum tastefully painted this glass-fibre sculpture during the summer "Zurich Cow Culture" campaign of 1998."
