Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland, again
During our last stay in the Lauterbrunnen Valley in Switzerland, we stayed at the little Camping Breithorn camping site. (See also the previous post). From the camping place, we also walked to Lauterbrunnen village, partly along the river Weisse LĂŒtschine. The surrounding views in the valley are absolutely spectacular, so no wonder lots of people use the narrow road for walks in the sun. Along…

Hiking through the Devil’s Gorge – Teufelsschlucht, in Switzerland
Another short hike, this time through the Teufelschlucht â Gorge of the Devil! If you thought the previous gorge was beautiful, then have a look at this one.

During the day, this particular gorge is very popular due to its vicinity to the…

Hiking through Kaltbrunnental, the Cold Well Valley, in Switzerland
A short hike through the Kaltbrunnental â literally the Cold Well Valley, in Switzerland, just 23 kilometers from Basel. It is a very green valley, full of caves and small waterfalls. Many signposts inform about the caves and their types. A cave is not just a cave. The caves can be wet or dusty, so bringing extra clothes might be a good idea. And if,…

Vertical cliff hike at Galerie DĂ©fago, Switzerland
After our first interesting short hike along the ViĂšze River, we had also planned another hike in the area, being of a completely different character. The first part of the Galerie was opened in 1864 by the local entrepreneur Emmanuel DĂ©fago, thus the name. The view over the valley, to the ViĂšze River and ChampĂ©ry is fabulous. Most of the trip is secured by a…
