In the mountains of Switzerland 🇨🇭
No matter how many times I've been to Switzerland, it never loses its charm. The huge snow-covered mountains, the brown cows with bells around their necks, the yellow flowers on the green fields, the cheese on every corner, and of course, the Swiss accent make Switzerland a breathtaking experience every time!
Our first destination was St. Gallen and the quaint town of Appenzell. Here we parked by a beautiful river with a view of the surrounding mountains.
Our next destination was the beautiful Lake Walen - one of the deepest lakes in Switzerland, with crystal-clear turquoise water. The perfect spot to mix up a delicious milkshake in the camper and relax :).
Of course, we also did some hiking - an absolute must in the Swiss mountains. We visited two beautiful mountain lakes, both of which were highlights! At the first lake, we were surprised by many snow avalanches crashing into the clear water on the other side of the lake. A few young Swiss people were calmly fishing nearby :D. At the second lake, we parked the camper for the night and had a nice barbecue over the fire under the starry sky on the frozen lake.
We didn't want to miss out on city life, so we also visited the beautiful city of Zurich. We were fascinated by how many people were gathering here during Covid times to have a beer by Lake Zurich or dance to guitar music on the promenade - it felt good to be among people again. Afterwards, we visited the largest waterfall in Europe - the Rhine Falls. We ended the day with a movie on our screen - of course, we made sure to have every luxury in the camper. 😁😜
Then we headed south in Switzerland, where we got the first summer feeling because people here all spoke Italian 😀. We went on another hike and tried a via ferrata - but we had to give up after the first 200 meters because people coming down told us that the via ferrata was closed further up... 🙄🤨
Just before the Italian border, we took a short detour to the Roman bridge, which is located in a wonderful landscape and is definitely a MUST-SEE! Afterwards, we crossed the border into the next adventure. ☺️👍
