Hike - Laufen to Liesberg

On Friday, May 18 we decided to take a 3.5 hour hike from Laufen to Liesberg. We boarded the train in Basel and headed for Laufen.

The hike was called the Planetenweg hike - each planet was represented by the distance from the start of the hike, which also represented the sun. Each planet was shown to scale based off of its' relation to the sun. Sorry...no photos.



The wandering paths of the hike.

Switzerland really is beautiful!


Robert - admiring a beautiful day after intense rain the day before.



Baby goats...


More cows...so nice that they actually roam outside... This photo was taken right after we hiked through a field of bulls..quite exciting...quite scary, especially when you are locked in with them and can only escape through a narrow gate. No photos available - we were walking too fast to stop and take photos of our unpredictable friends.


Our favorite shot of the hike!


Cathedral in Laufen.

This reminds me a lot of Oregon this time of year. You didn't have to move a million miles away - you could have just headed west. :)
