Sunday Hike

Today we went for a hike outside of Basel to the town Flueh, right on the French Border. We heard of the castle Landskrone in the area, but did not know how to get there...
Hey Kid's, there's the castle....
Mariastein in the distance.
A place of pilgramage...
Mariastein from the front.
Flowers in the wheat field...
Through a window in the castle
A view from the tower...

Up the spiral stairs, up the stone stairs past the prison, through the dark cave, into the scary dimmly lit steps up to the top of the tower....
Looking down on the ruines...
Nice fields...
The Swiss Border in the woods...
Look, we're in France, now we're in Switzerland,
now we're in France, now we're in Switzerland again...
And no passport...

Looks like it was a gorgeous day for a hike. Flueh - isn't that the powder Harry Potter uses in the fireplaces to travel from one place to another?
