Description

Added by TwintheWorld Project

It's an amazing adventure, because it is easily accessible. It has many amazing spots for photography and enjoying nature. If the day is to hot, you can jump into the refreshing cold water of the lake.

The hike isn't very intense or long. You just get out of the car walk through a forest, on a small path, go past a little waterfall, over a deep canyon with a river at the bottom of it. The river has a very strong blue color. After that you can go around the entire lake, it's wild and sometimes the forest is dense.

We can recommend this short hike, if you want to get to amazing spots quickly, but also want to experience the beautiful nature of the Swiss Alps. It takes about 1.5h.

Visit the Vaduz Castle in Lichtenstein

Although you may have never heard of this tiny country, they are famous for their winter sports, being the 6th smallest countries in the world and having a very strong economy despite its size. After reading some fun facts, we decided...

Hike from Bristen to Sedrun via the Gotthard Tunnel

You start this hike at the Golzern-Talstation in the small town of Bristen in Canton Uri. As it is a point-to-point hike, I recommend to use public transportation. The journey from Amsteg to Bristen is already an adventure by itself: the road is so narrow that other vehicles cannot cross, so that the bus driver carries you up on the brink. Not for the faint-hearted.Once in Bristen you start wit...
