Today we went to the Höllgrotten (the “Hell Grottos”) caverns. They’re small but only about a 20-minute drive from home. I was surprised there were caverns in Baar because it’s not exactly mountainous. We also did a pretty 6 km hike through the woods alongside a river.

Zugerberg
Morning mountain: Zugerberg with its view of Lake Zug. More of a hill than a mountain really, but I like this one because I can simply hike home from it. We went early to beat the heat and the clouds helped, but it was still super humid.

Ruinaulta
After swimming, we hiked to get a view into the Ruinaulta, the Rhine river gorge (aka the Swiss Grand Canyon). Any cooling provided by swimming was swiftly nullified under the summer sun.
Caumasee Revisited
This morning we swam in the Caumasee, Lake Cauma. Favorite alpine lake swim yet!

Trutg dil Flem
Looking to beat the heat this weekend, on Saturday we headed to the mountains above Flims. We hiked the Trutg dil Flem, the Flims water trail, which crisscrosses the Flem river on neat footbridges. Of course it was super hot hiking out in the burning sun…
Stoos Funicular
To reach Stoos we had to ride the world’s steepest funicular. It’s a pretty clever piece of engineering.
Stoos
Morning mountain: Stoos, only 30 minutes from home. We’ll definitely be back.
Caumasee
Morning Outing: Caumasee (Lake Cauma) near Flims. This was on a chilly overcast day. On a sunny day it’s supposed to be truly stunning. Air/water temps were only 15/20°C, but we had to swim anyway. Brisk! Now to mess around with NSFetchedResultsController and UICollectionView…
