Breathtaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that's the right word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The huge mountains, the brown-colored cows with bells around their necks, the yellow flowers on the lush green meadows, the cheese on every corner, the Swiss accent, and last but not least, the currency, the Swiss Franc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first destination was the beautiful Lake Walen.<\/strong>Crystal-clear, turquoise water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect spot to quickly mix up a nice milkshake in the camper and get cozy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we also did some hiking. In the mountains, it's an absolute MUST<\/strong> in Switzerland. But who would have thought that we would also be lucky enough to see snow avalanches? Just amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We did it, high-five!\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this picture, you can see the small snow avalanches sliding down from the mountain, creating an incredible noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While we couldn't close our mouths from amazement, others were calmly fishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, we continued our journey: And once again, we saw the wonderful, radiant, yellow flowers in the meadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From winter to spring? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why not end the day with a nice barbecue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A few days later, we went hiking again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we made a campfire and grilled again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the fire flickered below, the stars began to sparkle in the sky. It felt like we were the only people on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just us and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different sounds echoed from the forest. A hint of pure freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The next day, we blasted the music in the camper! Allow me to introduce: DJ MAX<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the climbing trail Zwillingsstieg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh my God, is that high!!! When we climbed the mountain, I stood rooted more than once and initially had no idea how to proceed. The climbing trail we chose this time was not for beginners, and I clearly felt that. Max motivated and helped me enormously, so I managed to get through it without dying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we didn't want to miss out on city life, so we also visited the beautiful city of Zurich. Lively. Enchanting. Beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, we visited the largest waterfall in Europe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

,,The Rhine Falls<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
