Swiss-Austria-Germany 14/6/25
Drove down to Bergen - Austria 🇦🇹 
from Zurich after Breakfast. Had Vegetarian Pizza, at Bergen for Lunch. Walked along the Konstanz (Bodensee) lake and drove to Lindau (Germany) for dinner (Masal Dosa) at Street Kazhana.
On 31/5/25 we ventured fir a 6km walk around Zurichsee - 30 min from home. A nice place for evening walks. The path around the lake is 140kms. We (Shalini, Nirmalya and I) had a nice 6km walk before we returned home. There are camping provisions in the area. 
1.6.25 - Planing for a trekking around Appenzell 85 kms from home. Got up at 5:30am, brushed, bathed, meditated, had breakfast (Strawberries, Blueberries, Poha Upma and Sanjeevani) Nirmalya and Shalini explained nicely about their journey in acquiring their platinum AI card. Let me see if I could get a gold card😊. Had started at 8:40am. Took our jackets and walking sticks. Nirmalya my son in law drove and we reached Appenzell and started the trekking at 10:30am to see the Seealpsee a lake atop the mountains. On our way to the lake we took a detour to have Butterbrot (Butter Bread) and Yogurt from a farm store. After the snacks took a dip (leg alone) at the lake’s chill water. It was refreshing and rejuvenating, it took away all the stress and pain in the legs
Seealpsee - the lake atop the mountains which was our trekking destination.

Butterbrott 😀
Guess distance to our destination 😀
we followed a tougher route and not the service lane while climbing but resorted to service lane down hill.
Down hill we had yummy 🤤 Cone ice cream from a self served vending machine at 3 CHF each.
On our way back my daughter Shalini drove back.
It was a lovely trekking experience which we all liked thoroughly🤩.
Further climbing up from the lake would have taken us to the hill top hut which one could stay over night😱.
Here is the link to the GoPro recording of our trekking.
