ZWEISIMMEN - ALONG THE SIMME RIVERS

My trip to Zweisimmen continued...



After having crossed the quaint village of Zweisimmen, we thought that it would be great if we walked along the Little Simme and the (big) Simme rivers (both rivers meet in Zweisimmen).

This health trail is very easy and so pleasurable. It invites the walkers and mountainbikers to marvel at the magnificent Simmental farmhouses and spectacular landscapes worthy of a Bollywood film (did you know that they are filmed in the Swiss Alps?). It is impossible to be insensible in front of so much beauty!




We enjoyed every minute of our little walk (2km), let the pure air of the mountain clean our lungs, drank gallons ice-cold water from the farm fountains that we found on our path and got sunburnt (ouch!). The scenery was so stunning and we were so blessed by the weather that I could not stop taking pictures.




To be continued next week....

  1. Rosa...you're a girl after my own heart. Your appreciation for nature and quaint regions comes shining through in so many ways...more so, of course through these stunning panoramsas you keep spoiling us with!
    This place seems to have marked a special place for you. It will hopefully find its way on my travels one day too;o)
    Have a fabulous day,
    Claudia
