Interlaken strongly impressed Shakhtar at once. So, we present the Swiss Album to our site’s visitors without delay. Near football and even not football information and pictures which describe an atmosphere of the training camp of Donetsk team.

• Let’s start with meals. The organizers prepared well for Shakhtar arrival. Up to that they print and put into a frame a menu in Russian for each meal. It is correctly written and seems that somebody of our ex compatriots works on it. By the way there are a lot of them here.
• On Donetsk players’ arrival they were welcomed in their rooms with a special compliment by the hotel administration: a dish of sweet cherries. There was also an explanation in German and English that generally such fruit grows at the Black Sea. But Swiss also learned to cultivate good specimens. Local residents are proud of their sweet cherries. And it is really good. Not worse than Melitopol one.
• Footballer’s nutrition is his own matter. That's why he is a professional to regulate calories and control his weight. It regards any meal but not a breakfast. The morning meal is a team matter. Mircea Lucescu promised to punish those who neglect breakfast. At the beginning of the intensive training day the player must be charged.
• As it was already mentioned Swiss training camp has a special appeal this year – bikers. In unexpected contingency the center of Harley’s Days became the hotel where Shakhtar’s footballers stay now. Actually the town is under the dominion of informals on wheels. 
• Though Harley Davidson’s admirers that came from whole Europe and America to have a good time in Interlaken are quite civilized. They drink beer and whisky non-stop, listen to Rammstein in the evening and drive their rumbling motorbikes. 
• Participants of the motorcyclists gathering are people of the middle age and older, and with high income. It isn’t an entertainment for teenagers who had no time to earn enough to by a respectable Harley. 
• These people impress by patterns on their leather jackets, plenty of tattoos, original elements of piercing and wild hairdos, complicated helmets and tuning of their bikes. Among all this diversity stood out an imposing man with an embroidery on his jacket which ran that he is a representative of American bikers community Grisha. What a real Ameican name…
• Near the epicenter of bikers’ gathering there are a lot of tents and pavilions. There one can buy any attribute, make a tattoo or insert a screw into any part of his body. There is a salon at a distance trading with monsters made of spares of bikes. One can buy a luxurious “Alien” for only 5-7 thousand dollars. Near 2,5 meters in height.
• The most notable is that colors of legendary Harley Davidson are orange and black. In this way the bikers’ territory is branded. The most honorable model of bike exhibited (it is hard to believe but this motorbike may speed up to 333 km/h!) also is orange and black colored. So, Shakhtar lives in habitual colors .
