Hiking in the Bernese Oberland mountains

Männlichen Switzerland

Last week K. was counting the days until the weekend because she was looking forward to doing some hiking again in Wengen, a small village in the Berner Oberland mountains. Today, now that we are back, I completely understand the reason for her excitement: it’s indeed one of the most beautiful parts of Switzerland, offering some breathtaking views of the Bernese mountains. For the first hiking trail, we parked in Lauterbrunnen, took a train to Wengen, got in the cable car to Männlichen, and from there we walked all the way to Kleine Scheidegg. This trail was particularly surreal because you were walking on the rim of a mountain more than 2000 meters above sea level, with some astonishing landscapes, but at the same time you found on your way cows pasturing, always joined by the sound of their typical Swiss bells tinkling. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me, but I tried to capture one of those moments with my phone's camera.
