Excursion 3

To Weggis

After the flower path, we walked on further down the mountain to Rigi Kaltbad.

This looks like a little house with a pretty front garden, but it is the gate house to….

The big house above.

Also accessible by steps.

The fountain at Kaltbad.

The current carriage at Kaltbad.

The horses of the carriage.

We took the cable car down from the Rigi - that was the fourth S: Seilbahn 🚠 

From there we walked into the town of Weggis, past many gorgeous flower beds.

Water flower?

These beauties belong to the church, and buffer the church wall from the sidewalk.

Also in the church border.

From there we passed through a park studded with giant redwoods and sequoias. They were fashionable all over Europe in the later 1800’s and early 1900’s.

This one took seven people to encircle it.

Then we sat with drinks on a floating, bobbing pier. That’s the Bürgenstock directly across the lake - haunt of Bilderburgers and their ilk. 

…Until time for dinner on a lakeside terrace looking toward the Pilatus. 

We took three trains to get back home, so ended with the first S: Scheine x3. 

And all was good.
