Hello mom,
Today we visited a special place - Quinten.
The 56 inhabitants large village of Quinten on the north shore of Lake Walen is only accessible on foot or by boat. As a car-free village Quinten is a popular intermediate and end points for hikes. Quinten has due to its unique location on the sunny side of Lake Walen and at the foot of the Churfirsten a Mediterranean climate with an annual average temperature of about 12.0 ° C, where grapes, figs, kiwi fruit and other exotic plants thrive. Also, various types of palm trees grow here. It is one of the warmest places in Switzerland. In addition, many protected reptiles such as lizards , fence lizards, smooth snakes, grass snakes and Aesculapian live in this ideal habitat for the animals.
We took the car to Murg and then by ship to Quinten.
The view was breathtaking.
We strolled through the small village
and walked along the lake.
We enjoyed the sun, nature and our lives.
By boat we were on our way home.
What a glorious day.
Sunny greetings
