The first acquaintance with Switzerland. Mountains
Work up over two days in Zurich and in the understanding that two days of doing nothing in it, decided to get out to the mountains. Actually wanted to go somewhere else on Friday, but were prevented by the weather, but on Saturday the obstacles were gone. Beautiful places within a radius of 100 km from Zurich is full, so the choice was not easy.
KDPW — the city of Glarus
In the end, right on the station, chose the city of Glarus in the hour train ride. 10 kilometers from the beautiful Klontalersee Glarus is (Clientelismo lake, Oh, those German names). From Glarus to lake like to walk the bus, but on arrival at the place confidence in it is gone. But we right away got on the bus to town a little closer to the lake, we decided to walk.
After exiting the bus started to rain, and we are at least 6 km walk — a great start. But the good mood could not spoil even the weather, the more it gave the local landscape for more color. Rate yourself
The road was long, at one point over the sidewalk. It turned out that we missed the gathering on the footpath in the forest. The road is narrow, no shoulder, cars go by every few minutes. But every driver with undisguised surprise looked at us. At first it amused, but then we realized that something is wrong. Obviously you cannot go on the road, even do not want to know what chance we'd have a penalty, we drive there by the police. Fortunately, everything worked out and we come to the next gathering on the footpath in the woods.
But now we have these photos :)
And by the way, notice how the weather changes from pictures to pictures. Some of the pictures may be lost to the sky, it is impossible ever to keep track of the camera settings in such conditions. So began nature, the lake is still very far away
And again the sun and the edge of the forest
Here gloomy
And there is already clear
About an hour later began to appear in the distance, mountains that we actually went.
It is absolutely clear that the lake should be right now, but it is not. But ahead rises a hill with a slope of 35-40 degrees, covered with a neat patch of lawn. The climb up was a lot of fun
Lay down to rest
And at the top we waited for it... it's Hard to describe the first emotion. I wanted to jump, run and just scream. It was worthy reward for a very difficult way up. The lake is located at an altitude of about 800 meters, the city from which we went by 400.
And now pictures, almost all from one angle. We could not go far from the place, as it was only half an hour until the last bus, which still went
Here is the mood :)
Mountain range side, the light went straight gorgeous
Another Sunny picture
Backstage :)
But the sunset managed to catch the sun
Unfortunately, our time there went. This is one of the most amazing places I have ever visited. Photos do not convey the hundredth part of the grandeur of the mountains.
