a small Pension between Brig and Gletsch, near the start of the Furka and Nufenen Pass, we stayed there 2 nights, to be able to do a Pass-Round Trip without all the luggage ;-))
Nufenen, Simplon , Oberalp, Susten , Grimsel , Furka
all on one day ;-))
the Furka Steam-Train still in use - to give a look back to the good old times....
the Rhone Glacier , whre the River Rhone starts
the River Rhone
the entrance into the Glacier - a view back millions of years....
the light coming to meters of Ice - unbelieveable....
that blue of the ice is fantastic....
and sure i had to try to climb up on that glacier....
got some scratches from doing that
the ice is unbelieveable sharp...
yeah they have covered Bridges in the Alps too !
but those old wooden ones are not longer in use for cars !
here is a look to the new bridge.....
and a view back from the new to the old bridge
on our way back - we made it to one of the smallest parts of Europe
" Liechtenstein "
breakfast in a Cow-Barn - where we did sleep in our sleepingbags...., but the breakfast - better then in any 5 Stars Hotel !!! 3 kinds of homemade bread, 2 kinds of homemade cheese, fresh milk from own cows , ......
near the place we stayed overnight - the famous Via Mala
<-- what means: bad road !
