With a few more days to spend and somewhat promising looking weather ahead we entered Switzerland by way of Arlberg pass, after online registration with the Swiss government due to Covid-19 regulations.
Da wir noch ein paar Tage mehr zur Verfügung hatten und die Wettervorhersage vielversprechend schien, ging es über den Arlbergpass ins eidgenössische Alpenland, für das wir uns vorher online anmelden mussten.
Castle Tarasp: Transylvania in Switzerland?
Albula pass road: never heard of but fun
Solis Viaduct: impressive Swiss engineering and part of the UNESCO world heritage
Splügen: a typical Swiss village in typical Swiss scenery
San Bernadino Pass: popular with all wheels
Lake Lugano: we came, saw, and and turned away quickly
Monteggio: pretty and quiet
Vallemaggia: where the adventure lives
Lago Del Sambuco and Lago Del Naret: pretty in rough
Bignasco: the Swiss answer to boon docking
Lukmanier Pass, Lai da Sontga Maria and Val Medel: mountains and valleys
Campadi Rein: Swiss camping at its best
Schneehüenerstock mountain: hiking in bad weather
Oberalp Pass: the world's highest lighthouse
Schöllenenschlucht: how to conquer a gorge, Swiss style
Homeward bound...
Schöne Tour, das meiste ist mir natürlich gut bekannt. Albula und Lukmanier habe ich beide sogar mal mit dem Bike gefahren, in Zeiten vor Timi.
ReplyDeleteWenn ich deine Bilder so sehe, wir sollten unbedingt auch wieder mal etwas weiter weg von zu Hause, danke für die vielen Anregungen.
PS: Heute waren wir auf dem Wiler Turm, mit deutlichen Erinnerungen!
LG Werner und Timi
Ach Werner, das war wieder so schön in Deiner Schweiz. Wir waren ja schon große Fans vom Verzasca Tal, aber das Vallemaggia hat uns noch mehr in seinen Bann gezogen. Immer wieder ein Traum.
DeleteUnser Treffen in Wil ist bald schon wieder zwei Jahre her... fast eine Ewigkeit.
Just stunning - you and Roland sure seem to be making the most of living in Europe! Fantastic to have such easy access to other countries and cultures.
ReplyDeleteYou bet, Geoff. Travel restrictions are still in place, and for some Countries it is mandatory to check in online due to their government regulations but finally we are able to roam a little further.
DeleteSuch a beautiful area! The viaduct, the buildings, and the landscapes. Not to mention the food pics. I’m enjoying your posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you Richard, we are mighty happy to be able to get out and about again.
DeleteSo nice to be located close enough to do this kind of touring! Great pics as usual, the only location that rang a bell was Lake Lugano which I think is also called Lucerne? I think I was there in '84 while with the US Army in Italy.
ReplyDeleteYou bet, Dom. There are three cities at lakes that I mix up all the time: Luzerne at Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstätter See), Lugano at Lake Lugano and Locarno at Lago Maggiore. This time we had been driving towards Lugano. It was messy traffic due to construction and we didn’t like the campground settled below train tracks and highway.
Deleteoh wie fantastisch! die Bilder (und somit die Orte) sind wunderschoen, was fuer eine beeindruckende Natur.
ReplyDeleteDankeschön. Die Natur ist zwar weitgehend gezähmt, aber trotzdem beeindruckend.
