We Love the Alps!
Despite the dreary weather, we decided to head into the Alps to one of our favorite Berghauses perched high in the mountains. We had a wonderful 2.5 hour hike up to the top and once there, we enjoyed some fabulous Swiss Apfelkuchen and then decided to do some more exploring of the area. We made this same trip last year, but in August and this year in June, the snow levels were much higher, so the exploring was a bit less active. Overall, we had a great time, enjoyed the beautiful Lauterbrunnen Valley and slept peacefully under our thick, duvets in the candlelight of Obersteinberg.
As our friend said, "it is like going back in time, no electricity, no running water, with hearty Swiss food in the beauty of the Alps."
Life is good!
