It’s time to move on again, and the journey takes me from the Alps back to the bustling city of Zurich. But before I arrive, I enjoy the scenic beauty of rural Switzerland. The drive takes me along Lake Brienz to Brienz, a charming village famous for its centuries-old woodcarving tradition. At the Jobin Swiss Woodcarving Centre, I dive into the history of this fascinating craft, which dates back to the 19th century. The intricate carvings and the passion with which this craft is maintained here are truly impressive.
After this cultural stop, I continue the journey and cross the Brünig Pass, which offers fantastic views of Lake Lungern and Lake Sarner. The Swiss landscape shows itself at its best in the final kilometers of my round trip.
Upon arriving in Zurich, a city tour awaits me. Together with my guide, I explore the famous Bahnhofstrasse, the historic Grossmünster, the picturesque Limmat River, and the Frauenmünster. It’s fascinating how Zurich manages to combine tradition and modernity so seamlessly.
In the evening, I meet my fellow travelers at a cozy restaurant. Over a delicious dinner and a glass of wine, we toast to the shared experiences of this unforgettable journey. A perfect conclusion to this eventful trip through Switzerland.
After two wonderful weeks in Switzerland, it’s time to head home. Instead of flying, as some others do, I’ve opted for the comfortable two-hour drive from Zurich to Freiburg.
But there’s something I haven’t told you yet: I almost forgot about the motorway vignette – but fortunately, while preparing for the trip, I remembered just in time that a vignette is required to drive on Swiss highways. The digital vignette saves the day: quickly registered online, and it’s immediately valid – couldn’t be easier!
With the car, I set off, and as I drive the final kilometers through the picturesque landscape, I think back on the many unforgettable experiences of this trip. From the majestic peaks of Stanserhorn to the charming streets of Gruyères and the stunning panoramas of the Glacier Express – every moment was overwhelming.
The anticipation for the next trip is already rising within me. After this impressive journey through Switzerland, I’m excited to see where my next adventure will take me. But one thing is certain: This tour has definitely not satisfied my wanderlust; if anything, it’s made it even bigger!
