James Bond’s Schilthorn in Switzerland
Schilthorn in Switzerland is a 2.970-meter-high mountain. It can be reached by 4 cable car sections from Stechelberg in the Lauterbrunnen Valley. We went there again in late April 2023 to enjoy the brunch in the revolving restaurant at the top. It is highly recommended to book a table in advance. On the way to Shilthorn, we had to change cable cars in Gimmelwald, Mürren…

The Rock restaurant :)
We call it Klipperestauranten, the Cliff Restaurant, but actually, the name is Aescher Gasthaus Am Berg, Aescher Mountain Guesthouse, near Appenzell in Switzerland. We have been visiting Aescher many times. Of course, because of the location and the views, but also to enjoy a meal and a drink. This time we arrived at Wasserauen, from where the cable car runs to Ebenalp, in our camper.…

France, part nine – Eguisheim and some travel facts
After leaving La Moutarderie Fallot, the mustard mill in Beaune, we had a long drive in front of us, to our last destination of this holiday, Eguisheim in Alsace. The tour was not the most interesting part, landscape wise, but we had already been in Eguisheim, many, many, MANY times 🙂 so we were looking forward to visiting this little pearl of Alsace, again. Actually,…

France, part eight – Bourg-en-Bresse, Dijon and Bourgogne
After leaving the marmalade maker we drove, via Lyon, to Bourg-en-Bresse. Here we wanted to taste the alleged world’s best (and most expensive) chicken, the Bresse Chicken – or Volaille de Bresse. The king of poultry, the poultry of kings. The chicken has been known at least since 1591 and a fun fact is the color of the Bény variety, the blue legs, white body,…

France, part seven – Roquefort, the bridge, Aubrac and Laguiole
We left the camping site in Cahors early in the morning, after emptying the tanks and refilling freshwater. On the trip to Roquefort, about three hours driving time, we passed several small villages and drove over the fabulous Viaduc de Millau, considered the tallest bridge in the world, crossing over the gorge valley over the river Tarn. It opened in 2004 and the bridge is…

France, part six – the château of the royal family, Cahors and the market
After leaving the kiwi plantation and winery at Domaine Chantelle in the morning, we headed for the beautiful Château de Cayx, situated on a rocky hillside in the Luzech district. Château de Cayx is a 15th-century castle and is surrounded by 2.000 years old vineyard. The castle and the vineyard have been owned by the Danish royal family since 1974. We actually also visited the…

France, part three – Le Mont-Saint-Michel, Poul’s 97 years old ex-father-in-law and Venise Verte
We left Cave Tronquay late in the morning. After doing some shopping for groceries for the next 2-3 days, and filling up diesel, we arrived at the Mont-Saint-Michel area. As this is a major tourist attraction in this part of France, road signs showing the direction started far far away. When we got closer we suddenly saw the dramatic silhouette from far away. Le Mont-Saint-Michel,…

Hiking to Seealpsee and the Seealpchäs in Alpstein, Switzerland
SEEALPSEE, LAKE ALP LAKE… is located at 1.143 m.a.s.l. in the Alpstein area in Switzerland. Upon arrival, it is clear why pictures of the lake are so popular on all social media. IT IS JUST STUNNING. Surrounded by mountains and so quiet – at least on a workday. During weekends it can be a bit crowded on the hiking paths. So, we will definitely suggest…

Fronalpstock – hiking with the most fabulous lake views
Wow, we just figured out, we never told you about this place, that is a mistake, sorry! Nowadays, the world’s steepest funicular railway is running from the Muota Valley, about 2 kilometers from Schwyz, to Stoos in about 4 minutes. The track has a gradient of 47.7°! Because of the construction, we didn’t really feel it as steep but have a look at some of…
