There are quite a lot of hikers coming towards you or walking down here, so be careful. I would also stick to the left, better route

December 21, 2024,Wintersonnenwende am Schauenberg

At sunset on the Schauenberg, unfortunately only a little snow left. Small fire that quickly burned out in the strong breeze, but gave off enough heat for outdoor raclette :-)

December 29, 2024,Gyrenbad -🧑🏼‍🎄 Turbenthal 💞… 2024🎉 (CH)

Final hike in 🧑🏼‍🎄Switzerland 2024🎉

Our final hike took us to the beautiful 💞Turbenthal, more precisely to the Gyrenbad path to Schauenberg. The view was simply gigantic - the Alps presented themselves in all their glory. While the valley lay in the fog as if in cotton wool, we enjoyed the bright blue sky above. 🌞An unforgettable experience!🎉
