A Day in the Mountains of Switzerland

Because the weather on Tuesday was wet and gross, we spent most of it combing through museums in Basel and Zurich. We ended up visiting two day’s worth of museums in one, which left today wide open. We decided to make the most of it by heading for the mountains. We left our Airbnb outside Zurich and headed for Luzern and Engelberg. I thought I’d share a few photos I snapped along the way. Tomorrow we visit Konstanz, Germany to learn about Jan Hus and to try to track down some objects related to his life and death. Then we head home!

(My thanks goes to Logos for helping sponsor the trip. Did you know they sell The Works of Zwingli? You can get them for a great price.)

Today we ascended a 10,000 foot mountain. It was bleak but stunning.

Let’s add this to the growing list of places I’d like to live.

Slopes upon slopes upon slopes.

This waterfall fell hundreds of feet in tiny stages.

A pretty, placid lake thousands of feet up Mount Titlis.

Here’s another stage of that waterfall far up Titlis.
