Today we are meeting our friend Lisa (arriving by train from Zurich). We met Lisa last year at the walking tour in Den Hague. She is arriving at the Walenstadt station.

Today’s plan is to hike up the mountain and then down to Walensee (lake) (“see” is lake in German) for a swim. This is a three hour hike with nice wide switchbacks and approximately 1000 ft (305 m) rise in elevation.
Here are some photos from our day.

Stunningly gorgeous! Loving the videos!
So beautiful there!
Regarding jumping into Walensee after a long, sweaty hike… wasn’t that water icy cold? A person could stop his heart by doing that!
Surprising, it wasn’t that bad. At bit cold at first, but got used to it quickly. And it felt sooooo good!
