Our new apartment sits less than a quarter mile from a little forest on top of a hill filled with nice trails for walking, running, or biking. All of the hills surrounding Zürich are covered with such trails. You have to walk up a steep hill to get to any of them, but once you're at the top and surrounded by forest it's worth it. It's an easy way to get away from the city and feel like you're in the middle of nowhere for a little while.
So this morning we went for a walk in the woods behind our apartment. First you walk up a steep hill (though fairly short in comparison to other hills around Zürich).
These are the cows at the farm right on the outskirts of the forest:
And here's the view that the cows have while they eat their grass:
You can see some of this view from one of the balconies at our apartment but you have to look between two other buildings and around a really big tree to see it.
There are lots of these big piles of wood in the forest. There are also some piles of neatly stacked chopped wood. Dad you'd appreciate them ... I didn't get a picture of the chopped wood though. But if possible the piles are even neater than yours! Martin and I aren't sure how much wood costs here, but we're nervous that it will be expensive so we're keeping the supply of wood in the forest in mind in case we need to steal some to have fires in our fireplace. j/k.
And here's a picture of one of the trails through the woods:
