Sunday we left early. We had a long journey ahead of us. First we went towards Grisons, the easternmost canton of Switzerland. On the Rickenpass we had a great view of Lake Zurich and the Glarus Alps.
At a rest area on Lake Walen we could consider the Churfirsten from the back.
We had fun on a playground
and sat on a bench, made specially for us :-)). The inscription means: Here are the little ones, the largest.
Next we drove past the Heidiland near Maienfeld and Bad Ragaz.
We passed through pretty villages
and stopped at a little old bridge.
This bridge crosses the young Rhine.
We drove on
and reached the village of Disentis,
with his old monastery.
There we had lunch. Capuns, a specialty of the Grisons.
The mountains were higher and narrower the streets.
Then we arrived at our first destination, the Oberalp Pass.
Here rises the Upper Rhine.
Next, we visited the Schöllenen canyon with the Devil's Bridge and the Suvorov monument.
It is reminiscent of the battles between General Suvorov and Napoleon in 1799. We continued on to our next destination,
the Klausen Pass, which is 1948 meters high.
The prospect of fresh snow covered mountains was breathtaking.
We sat down in a snow rest
and enjoyed the sun and the view.
The ride home, we have overslept.
Bye for now, Angeli
