The Rhone and the Rhine

On our way to Switzerland we took a detour through the black forest of Germany. It didn't knock our socks off or anything, but it was enjoyable to see the architectural and geographical scenery change from France to Germany and then to Switzerland. The drive through the Alps was as phenomenal as our camp cuddled between the mountains of the Alps in Interlacken.
We slept in and then spent 8 hours hiking from Lauterbraun to Muren. Around every bend was an amazing view of snow capped mountains and the villages in the valleys. One part of this trip that happened to be planned well was the diversity of our experiences. Villages to big city. Long car rides to long hikes. Camping to hosteling to hoteling. Along the hike we enjoyed swiss cheese and swiss chocolate. Now all we need is some Swiss Miss.
