Morschach - Stoos, Switzerland - 26th July 2009
This morning we had an early start and drove to the aerial lift in Morschach to take it up to Stoos & Mt Fronalpstock. You can see it behind me in the picture above at Bouchs. Today there's a family spa hotel here, but formerly this was a very illustrious place to go on holidays. Queen Victoria of England, Ludwig II. of Bavaria and Winston Churchill belong to the tourists that visited here. Up here it's very beautiful. One can go skiing in winter and in summer there are many hiking paths. Many people just take the ski-lift up to Fronalpstock, though, to look from there onto Lake Lucerne, surrounding mountains, in some places until the Jura mountain range or to Zürich. One can also see the Rütli meadow, where the legendary Rütlischwur was sworn that laid the foundation for Switzerland. It will be re-enacted next week on on the 1. Aug, the Swiss National Day. We went hiking, but without the heavy camera. It was too hot and the path we took too difficult for that. In the late afternoon we took the lift down to Morschach again. Look where we were (and Morschach is already part of the way up on the mountain).
