Walensee, Switzerland

The Walensee, about 1 hour by train outside Zurich. During the winter looking down from Flumserberg, we have often wondered about the impossible little farmhouses on the far shore of the Walensee. Well, wonder no more. StringGirl wanders the shores of the Walensee with the Kam and Pietsch families.

Peering out of one of the rough hewn caves that allows access along the rugged shoreline to the remote hamlets on the north shore (cliffs) of the Walensee.

Remnants of the middle ages remain from this once strategic foothold in the Swiss Alps.
