Yesterday’s weather induced cabin fever, so when the sun came out today it was time to make the most of it. Plus I’d promised to make things a bit more interesting, too, and that means getting out of the house!
The walk took us on a snow-covered Wanderweg path to the little village of Möriswil, around the forest and through some empty crop fields, back past my favourite house and garden (apart from ours, of course), then home.
I hope you enjoy the gallery of photos from our 90 minute wander.
-
- Looking down towards the direction of Wohlen bei Bern and the Wohlensee. Today we’re walking in the other direction
-
- Once we leave our long driveway, we have to walk on the road for a bit to get to the walking track. Nice light here
-
- At the top, follow the yellow arrow to leave the road and start walking on the Wanderweg path
-
- A tractor had been through here and the frozen tracks were tricky to walk on, so we walked in the middle
-
- Last year, this field was full of wheat, with the odd smattering of red poppies and blue cornflowers
-
- Loving these strange ice formations that look like sea creatures
-
- Frozen, and melting, ice shapes
-
- You’ve got to keep an eye on the frozen stuff on the path
-
- Lots of lovely, delicious, white nothing around here at the moment
-
- When we got to the top of the small hill, with the sun on our backs, it was warm enough to get rid of our beanies and gloves
-
- Looking towards another little village, called Sariswil, from the top of the hill
-
- Walking through Möriswil
-
- Blue, black and white work well together!
-
- I don’t know how they cope, but the cows live indoors all winter. No wonder they jump for joy when spring comes around
-
- This sprightly little chap came out to say hello while mum stayed in the shed
-
- He loved a good scratch
-
- A sweet little guy – I still have all my fingers!
-
- They’re very proud of their cow bells!
-
- More cow bell!
-
- There are two bridges that go across the road in the village, which allow tractors to be driven into the rooves of these very large farmhouses to store hay
-
- Looking back towards Möriswil on our way to the forest
-
- Heading towards the forest
-
- Fields of white with the odd house here and there
-
- The green signs mean this is a track specifically made for horse riding
-
- The yellow diamond (on the tree) signals a Wanderweg (walking track). These signs are found all over Switzerland. They love to hike!
-
- We walked around the back of the forest
-
- I wonder how many of these bird houses are actually being used?
-
- The ice formations were really interesting, kind of like spiny underwater sea creatures
-
- Leo holding one of the sea-creature-like ice formations
-
- The walking path through fields normally full of cows or corn
-
- Was lovely to see other people out enjoying the day too
-
- Three horses out for a wander with just two riders
-
- This huge aviary has exotic birds, as well as geese and homing pigeons
-
- Cat on the prowl!
-
- ‘Twas a lovely light today
-
- Walking towards my favourite farmhouse, beautiful garden and the friendly calves
-
- When we arrived at the pen, there were no calves, until … oh, hello!
-
- Friendly little chap. Loved a good ear scratch too
-
- Had to wash my jacket after all the licks that came outta nowhere!
-
- Symmetrical tracks around the farmhouse
-
- In spring and summer, this garden is full of amazing flowers and vegetables. The chickens have an amazing space too
-
- I’d like to see inside here one day. Maybe the owners will invite me in as I jog past? Not likely!
-
- Fruit trees waiting for spring
-
- I like the position of, and view from, this house. Looking back to where we’ve just walked
-
- Funky tree formations
-
- A little bird house
-
- The track home
-
- From this vantage point on the walk back, we could see our three neighbours’ houses
-
- And home after 90 minutes

Beautiful – feeling inspired if it was winter and snowing!

Some days are too cold to walk here, and some days are too hot to walk where you are, hey Yvonne! Ying and yang. But you have wonderful bushland too (might just need to carry more water than we do!).
