Vienna by night
Night watchman tour across Munich
On our way to annual EGU in Vienna we had a stopover in Munich and decided to book a tour to check out the Munich city center and listening to stories from the night watchman.
Rare endemic checkered lily
In a hidden swamp near Les Brenets in the Neuchatel Jura. We added a hike to Saut du Doubs waterfalls and the rapids of the river just below the lake.
Hiking Mont Raimeux
To evade the mandatory leash time in some of the cantons, and to ensure one is outside of dense forests, you need to get creative and carefully study the Swisstopo map in high resolution. You’ll find some hidden gems like Mont Raimeux, where you can hike with almost no elevation changes along the crest of one of the Jura chains. You’ll encounter some wild, flowering crocus along the way.

Vizsla portraits in the snow
Overnight it had dropped quite a bit of snow (although it went away quite quickly), so we profited from the opportunity and did a really nice snow hike up to Belchenflueh.
Davos and Salginatobel
Spent a couple of days skiing in Davos, which was long overdue (but I still know how to do it), and finally visited the world-famous Salginatobelbridge, which is a bit underwhelming at first. You have to read the info signs and follow the self-guided hike to learn more about the architectural pioneering and what it really meant at that time.
Snow hike Krienseregg
After puppy school, Farkas and I decided to make use of the sunny Friday and rode the cable car up from Lucerne/Kriens to Krienseregg, with a nice view towards Pilatus.
