Hiking: Ebenalp to Wasserauen
Yesterday we headed to Appenzell, in northeastern Switzerland, to do what is likely to be our last hike this season. It was cloudy and foggy the entire way to the start of the hike but once we took the cable car up to Ebenalp (~1600 meters up) we got above the clouds and enjoyed a gorgeous sunny day. The clouds were neat though so I took a lot of pictures of them:
After a grueling hour of hiking, the boys needed to refuel already so we stopped for some sausage and rösti (not me I wasn't even hungry yet we had just started!):
Here's where we had stopped to eat:
After eating we hiked along this really steep ridge. The path was narrow and rocky but thankfully there was a cable to hang onto so we wouldn't fall over and die:
This might be a better picture of it:
The clouds and fog in the valley we were heading down into:
Another refueling station, but this time for beer and hot chocolate:
Seealpsee, right before we headed back under the clouds. Beautiful little lake and valley. I was happy to be done with the steep narrow rocky snowy icy muddy part of the hike.
