I was there on a hike along the Via Alpina! Is that Lauterbrunnen and possibly the train to Jungfraujoch?
One of the most memorable times of my life was hiking through there (Meiringen, Grindelwald, and Lauterbrunnen specifically). Very peaceful and meditative.
- leeoniya 11y agoyes, this is a hike from Murren to Gimmelwald which is quite literally "The Shire" [1] (after a train from Lauterbrunnen). and yes, Jungfraujoch of course. [1] https://i.imgur.com/46Ujdqa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/46Ujdqa.jpg
- Symbiote 11y agoThe literal "Shire" is the West Midlands of England [1].
