Just part of Switzerland on the outskirts of a village with a view on a mountain. You find these places everywhere in Switzerland. You can take a walk on a path, and see no-one for a few hours. Switzerland has enough space it seems. When the population of a country is no more than eight million, there is room for everyone: even a few thousand cows have their own pastures.
At the end of 2016 there were 478 inhabitants living in the village. Now there may be less, probably not more.There is a bus service, but no trains. We paid a visit and parked the car. The road was a one track road leading into the village and everything seemed to go uphill or downhill.
There was a lonely cow in a field on the way to the village. We were the probably the event of the day for the cow when we drove past.

Cows are sociable creatures. Maybe he’s a bull? Love your mountains!!

No bulls, they are now segregated and most likely never see a real cow, just a lookalike.

Winter is not so bad if you stay more in the low country. I have now got used to it, but I no longer have to go places. In summer it is wonderful for walks in the fresh air.

I have spent many summer holidays in Grindelwald. We always rented a chalet when the kids were still kids and would often go walking.
