Heading west – nice and flat at first… …then up! A spectacular ride along the Brienzersee, though much hillier than you might expect from a lakeside routeAt the top we found Giessbach, where we could walk behind a waterfall 20% descent to the lake – glad we didn’t have to cycle up that Reached the end – into Interlaken for well deserved ice cream and riverside camping For our “day off” we cycled up to Grindelwald and back – our second longest day yet and hilliest by far. At least we didn’t have luggage! Beneath the Eiger NordwandView of Grindelwald – another steep ascent to the village“Unnamed ski instructor” sculpture A rather belated first pizza of the trip More big mountainsLast view of the NordwandMuch more fun in descent! Interesting wooden bridge Campsite playgroundPeaceful river (occasionally interrupted by paddle steamers)
