A day of hiking

Nothing better than a good long walk, especially when it's up and down hill in the beautiful mountains in Switzerland! We have a book that documents many different trails in all parts of the country. Of course they include pictures which makes deciding on a trail difficult because they're all so beautiful. After picking one, we drove to a place about 25 miles south of Interlaken in the central part of the country. We parked the car and began our journey. There were plenty of clearly marked trails that took us through a variety of terrain including meadows, paved roads, stone and dirt trails, steps, and others. We had a small picnic from our back pack, and later stopped for a beer at a restaurant located at the top of a mountain. It was located near a ski lift, and certainly it's packed during ski season. Eight miles, and seven hours later, we made it back to the car. We had enough for one day, but we'll go back for more. The mountains are beautiful and we can't wait to see more of them.
