Lungern to Meiringen plus

Posted on by

One travel day (over the Brünigpass, the high point of the tour at 1008 m), two nights in the home of meringues and a couple of touristy things.

Up out of Lungern – J did really well cycling up the first bit of hill
Gaining height quickly (and strenuously)
Cycle route between the cliffs and railway line
A brief respite of down
Whizzing down the other side of the Brünigpass, testing our brakes and admiring the views
After an early campsite arrival, we went out again to the Aareschlucht gorge
Drippy rather than rainy
Chocolate waffles make the view better
We found C a donkey
Cycling across a runway!
Ballenberg open air museum of Swiss buildings and crafts. Wood carving, water wheel-powered sawing and pottery were the big hits; cheese making not so much
The most Swiss carousel imaginable
Finally some proper sunshine (shame it didn’t reach out tent and out washing)
Limestone scrambling – who needs an adventure playground?
Bells and barns
Swiss accordions
It would be rude not to…
