At the top of the Loreto Chapel, with sensational mountain views from the Swiss Alps to the Zugspitze in Germany.
Unfortunately, only virtually today.
Definitely worth a visit when the föhn wind is blowing and the mountain views are clear.

Since there was still time, we made a quick trip to the impressive waterfalls, which are fed by the Säntis region and have found their way underground to Lake Walen.

Saharan dust loop starting in Amden; sunny south-facing slope, but that wasn't really necessary today. Lake Walen and the Churfirsten mountain range are constant companions. For the final climb, head to the Chapf viewpoint at the top of the steep slope – definitely worth it (recommended by Jupp Toggenburg

Von Gunzesried auf das Ofterschwanger Horn
Den schönen Sonnen-Herbsttag genutzt um den Vitamin-D-Speicher zu füllen. eigenlich wollten wir über die Scheidwangalpe hoch zur Oberen Gelchenalpe. Da das Tal aber zapfig kalt im Schatten liegt, kurzerhand umgeplant und aufs sonnige Ofterschwanger Horn. Gute Entscheidung.

We took advantage of the beautiful sunny autumn day to top up our vitamin D levels.
We had originally planned to hike up to the upper Gelchenalpe via the Scheidwangalpe. However, since the valley (Autalweg) was bitterly cold 🥶 and shrouded in hoarfrost, we quickly changed our plans after 200 meters and

Inspired by Pedro's delicious "Schlorzifladen" (a type of flatbread) yesterday, we kicked off the weekend at Nuber's in Oberrussenried, passing the beautifully situated Jägerweiher pond;
As a reward for a hard week's work, we then enjoyed the delicious stracciatella and tiramisu cakes.

After the nasty weather changed, I spontaneously decided to finish work early and treat myself to a tour up the Hädrich. The last few meters to the Hädrichhaus, which is closed on Wednesdays, were impassable by bike due to snow cornices.

Spectacular in a picture-perfect landscape on the sunny side.
A steep climb of about 700 meters from Walenstadt through the autumnally colored forest.
Then, at a fitting elevation, at the foot of the Churfirsten, via the Lüsis mountain inn to Alp Tschingla.
Pepped up by two crossing base jumpers, racing

In 2024, the municipality of Oberreute commissioned the construction of a non-denominational space for contemplation, "Place of Silence," on a drumlin opposite the Nagelfluh mountain range.
A new star is born.
