Boxing Day walk




We awoke to the most glorious sunny but bitter cold day on 26 December 2010. Having eaten so much the day before we thought it a good idea to go for a 8 km hike up the hill just at the back of our place. It sure is up, up, up and a good test of our fitness. But we made it without too much trouble and it was worth the effort as the views are spectacular. We knew we'd be able to see the Swiss Alps from the top. We climbed Hohe Flum for a better view (a tower right at the top of the hill and no mean feat for me as I don't like ricketty, wooden stairs at all). But I was determined to do it, just for the view. There were so many people out and about enjoying the sunshine and the exercise.

A view of Schopfheim. We never tire of this beautiful view
Yes, there was a little snow on the hills in the distance!
