FollowIt’s time for a day out, so we’re off to Grindelwald. With the limited train timetable at the moment it takes ages to get there, but it’s a lovely day, so who cares? It’s a pretty village once you get away from the commercial centre.
Just as Wengen is dominated by the Jungfrau, Grindelwald lives in the shadow of the Eiger.
Grindelwald is known as the glacier village. It has 2 glaciers that used to come almost to the village. Nowadays they’ve receded back up the mountains. This is the lower glacier.
This one used to come so close to the village that people dug holes in it to store their milk. A nice day out.
