ZWEISIMMEN - ON THE WAY BACK

My trip to Zweisimmen continued and finished...

Well, here I am posting my final batch of pictures related to my one day trip to Zweisimmen (post 1, post 2, post 3, post 4 & post 5). I am so glad that you have been following me through this series of posts dedicated to the Bernese Oberland...

After having roamed the Zweisimmen area for most of the day it was time for us to catch our train (MOB/GoldenPass line) for our 2 hour journey back to Montreux. With a heavy heart we left that little paradize. We really wanted to stay longer in that charming, peaceful and soul-uplifting place!

Anyhow, we had to go back home so we bravely got on the train and sat patiently in the air-conditioned and comfortably furnished passenger compartment. Then, the train started to move, climb up on the side of the Rinderberg mountain and head out of the Simmental Valley in the direction of Gstaad, Château d'Oex, Montbovon and Montreux.

So, for the next two hours we went through three magnificent cantons (Bern, Fribourg - Haute Gruyère - and Vaud - Pays d'Enhaut), many fabulous places and villages (Obersimmental, Pays d'Enhaut - Saaneenland, Montreux region). Ecstatic!

As the landscapes are stunning and the views out of the window are breathtaking, I took a few shots while sitting in the train. Thankfully they turned out great, so I hope you'll enjoy them.

    Did I mention...that after the passion I have for food...the world of travel is very close to my spirit which has lead me to appreciate adventures like yours.

    Rosa...I really hope for you that a travel magazine picks up on your post...it would make for a fantastic piece on the region you've covered so fantastically well ;o)

    Have a great week and flavourful wishes,
    Claudia
