Walk with me - a day in Amden

in travelfeed •  6 years ago  (edited)

Another weekend, another day trip!

Last week I said that I probably wouldn't go to the mountains this year anymore, but I couldn't resist. My legs don't hurt that much, and my doctor said that an easy walk will help healing so we decided to go to Amden that is also known as the "sun terrace".

The village is at 900 meters above sea level and there are many hiking trails to several mountain summits. We usually come here with our visitors as the walk is very easy, the air is fresh and the views are beautiful.

Amden is a village in the canton of St. Gallen. The first mention of Amden dates back to 1178. For many years, there was no infrastructure between Amden and the valley. The road to the village was built at the end of the 19th century. Until then, the village was dependent on its own resources. Today, it's a winter as well as summer sports paradise.

In the middle of the photo, between those two mountains, you can see Amden.

Here, the village is on the left side..

There is a hiking trail from where we stand that will lead you to the village. We chose to go by car as I believe this is not that kind of walking that my orthopedist was referring to 😊

Between the village and the valley there is a parking place where you can pull over your car, walk around and enjoy the views of the lake Walensee. This is another point where you can start your hike to Amden.

The lake is 15.5 km long, 2 km wide and its maximum depth is 145 m.

Now we are looking at the Kerenzenberg in the Glarus Alps. This area is popular for its hiking trails as well.

This is the village where we started our tour. It's called Weesen.

The mountains raise steeply from the Walensee and it was challenging to build roads to the villages. Swiss engineers resolved this problem by building the roads into the rock walls. You can see how the road is built inside the rock walls.

This is how it looks like.. Let's continue to Amden!

Here we are!

On the right side there is Mattstock - it was one of the most feared mountains in Amden in the past. Can you see the avalanche barriers? The most disastrous avalanche accident hit Amden in 1844. There were many avalanches before the barriers were built. Thanks to the barriers, this doesn't happen anymore.

On the left is Leistchamm - the highest mountain in the Ammler range. I have heard that the trail is very steep, but the views are worth the effort.

Our path road today is perfect for a relaxing walk.

Are you asking where we go? We follow the path road to an observation platform with amazing views of the lake and surrounding mountains. It's only about 1 km long walk.

The sun terrace is the right name for Amden. We have been here many times and it was always sunny.

There are a few small farms on the way. The cows walk freely, so watch your step 😊

They are used to people around them and don't seem to be bothered by us at all.

DSC_0051.jpg
ISO 100 1/250 sec. f/10 18 mm

Look at this! I think that's a clear message of what they think of us 😊

We tried to talk to them and asked them to turn around, but they ignored us. It could have been a language issue as we spoke Dutch to them😊

When we almost gave up, a couple of hikers with a Bichon Frise (dog) showed up. The dog was running around the cows and they started to play with him. They were running and chasing him around. It was so much fun. People were stopping by, looking at them and taking videos. It was so fascinating that I forgot to take photos..

After the owners took the dog and left, the cows lost their interest again.

You can rent a holiday house anytime during the year. Can you imagine your vacation here?

There are some magical places on our way..

These sculptures were created by Franz Baumberger, an artist and philosopher who was born in Amden.

There are three of them - it's a prehistoric stone with carvings which stands out because of its unusual shape.

The last part of our walk is a little bit steeper, but I managed and we made it to the platform!

DSC_0067.jpg
ISO 100 1/320 sec. f/9 18 mm

For those who are interested there is a board with names of all mountains that can be seen from the observation deck.

DSC_0071.jpg

It was a foggy day and we couldn't see everything clearly..

DSC_0074.jpg
ISO 100 1/320 sec. f/8 18 mm

The air here is so fresh and it was also warmer than in the valley..

This gives some perspective on steepness of the rock wall. For safety reasons there is a fence around the platform.

We ate our snacks and returned back to the car.

Going to the mountains is the best what we can do during foggy weekends. And we have many of those in autumn and winter in Schaffhausen area.

I was surprised to see a lonely dandelion in the middle of October.

Before we got to the car we noticed that we were above clouds 😊 That was a very nice way to finish our walk..

I must say that this short walk helped me to release the pain. Now I'm not that afraid anymore and I'm already preparing a plan for the next weekend.

I hope you have enjoyed our walk today.

Oh I really enjoyed your post, so beautiful over there, amazing pictures. I added Amden to my "to see in this lifetime list". I would love to climb that road with my bike one day. Happy to hear you recovered well after the surgery.

I would say you were crazy if I didn't see other people biking this hill and other mountains in Switzerland, lol. You should come, you will love it. I'm still recovering, but I feel much better. Thank you Dan!

ohhh wow... there are so many beautiful pictures here... Its hard to believe you aren't a professional photographer... you capture the moments in a breathtaking fashion! Thank you for sharing your talent Martina! :)

I wish I would be a professional photographer :) But it's very flattering to hear that you enjoy seeing my photos, Dave. Thank you for your kind words!

Such a great selection of beautiful photos - do take it really easy though Please don’t overdo it just for a desire to post here!! I hope your pain is not too bad - turmeric is a great anti inflammatory and pain killer - do make some ginger and turmeric tea to help heal yourself ❤️🌈🍀🦋🤗

No worries my dear. I was sitting at home all week and couldn't stand it anymore :) I had a small surgery last week. My condition is very strange and I keep hearing the word 'special' from the doctors. Sometimes I feel like they will write a book about me, lol. BUT it's better after the surgery. I might need one more but this is what they'll tell me in 8 days once I go there to check it..

Ginger and turmeric tea is a great idea! Shall I cook water with them or just leave them sitting in hot water?

Thank you for stopping by my dear Sallybeth!

Simmer the ginger and turmeric in a few cups of water for about 15 mind then let it cool slightly before adding honey and lemon to taste. Xxx

Thank you for the tip sweet girl!

So beautiful, I love going to Walensee too, along the lake to Quinten then going back by boat. It is indeed always sunny, facing the south and protected by the Churfirsten mountains, even palm trees grow! Feels bit like Ticino already.

Glad to hear that you are better and able to enjoy the mountains.

I think I got some better feeling with cows, they were quite curious with me haha

(On the way up to Pilatus)

I love the color of the lake and that it's changing during the day depending on the sun. It can be so blue that if you take some photos people might think that you manipulated the color :)

I have heard a lot about Quinten but haven't been there yet. Is it worth it? I wonder if it's not overly crowded? I guess it's very popular.

You never know with cows. Some of them come to you and want you to scratch their head and other wouldn't even turn around. Maybe they had their siesta time :)

Thank you for visiting :)

Absolutely breathtaking place Martina and your images are magnificent 😊

By the way, what is wrong with your legs?

Thank you for stopping by Lena :)

I was born with some issues (I can tell you on discord) and now I'm in process of getting it fixed as it started to hurt..

Oh I see! That must be very difficult, especially for someone who likes to walk a lot like you. If you like to write more details, feel free to send me an email Martina and I wish you fast healing 🌸💖🌸

I look at your pictures and my heart shrinks from the fact that there are such beautiful places on Earth....I've never been in a mountain like this. It's something magical! Beauty!

You should come to Switzerland. There are many beautiful places like this one here :)

Awesome pics and the place is very beautiful. I would walk there everyday with that scenery. Going up a mountain is an amazing experience the view you have there is absolutely breath taking. Thanks for sharing your walk.

Where are you based? Do you have similar landscape close to you?

Thank you for stopping by! I'm glad that you liked it!

Oh I'm from the Philippines and the closest landscape we have here is a lake with a volcano.

Wow, that is some amazing photographs! In the first photo, are you above the clouds, or is it a weird reflection from water... I think it is above clouds, but I'm not 100 percent sure!

Yes, we are above clouds. It actually happens quite often in the Alps :) It feels so cool! It's like you were in heaven :)

Thank you for stopping by @bengy!

Howdy there delishtreats! My gosh that looked so high that you guys were! I mean you're looking down on clouds..it seems like it would be hard to breath even. lol.
I know the fog hampered a little bit of the views but it also gave a really cool effect. With the sun shining I didn't think the fog would still be there but I guess in the mountains it's different.

Well, this is a wonderful post and I'm thankful that you were able to make the trip!

Good morning cowboy!

Hahaha, of course it's not difficult to breathe there :) It's just about 1000 m above sea level :)

Yes, I think as well that the effect was cool but I when it's a clear day, the lake is very blue and it would be nice to show. The conditions in the mountains change very quickly and the fog above the lake is normal. We also have it here around the river. All town looks like in a cloud and then you climb up the hill and you realize it's a sunny day :)

Thank you for visiting Jonboy! :) It's always nice to have you over here!

@nickeyhavey. Thanks for resteeming this one.

@delishtreats, what a fun experience that was! My wife just informed me you typically post this type of content so I’m gonna get a front row view now, followed. 👍🏿

Happy Monday from Los Angeles.

Yes definitely follow @delishtreats as there are some amazing photos, details and storytelling in her posts!

Thank you Nicky! You are very kind!

Is your wife @puravidaville? If so, then I'm looking forward to following your travel adventures! :)

Yes, I post mostly about my travel and I'm planning to share some details from my vegan life as well.

Thank you for visiting! It's always nice to know that I gained a new follower! :)

Happy Tuesday from Schaffhausen (CH)!

Well don’t we just have a bajillion things in common. Thanks for scoping out some paths ahead of us!

Yes, @puravidaville is why I’m the luckiest guy I know.

I'm surprised that the love of your life didn't introduce us earlier :)

Yes, it looks like we have many things in common!! It's nice to 'meet' you!

In her defense, she probably did and I probably did one of this “mm hmm” but I never really heard her! :sh: secret. 😉

Hahaha, no worries, my husband is the same (I mean he is like you) :D

Amazing, mindblowing captures @delishtreats...

Loved the sky and the first photograph is just love <3 now words to express

Thank you Rishi! I'm happy that you liked my photos!

Oh I am so jealous to breathe that air! I wish they could bottle it like they do mountain stream water and re-sell it, haha. Guess I'll have to settle for an air freshener... haha.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Hahaha, would you be willing to pay for the mountain air? :) Air freshener sounds like a good replacement though :D

Thank you for visiting!

Great to see you back in the mountains :) I love the village photos. The meandering roads and buildings placed here and there. Such a contrast to our straight, grid layout in the cities. Very peaceful. Certainly for the cows ha ha they appear to have no worries.

It was great for me to be there as well :) I feel the best when I'm up in the mountains :) The village is very nice. They even have a museum!

These cows were very relaxed, lol. Nothing would move them, just that small dog.. I have never seen cows jumping like that :D They were so happy!

Thank you Steve! And I wish you a great start of the week!

What a beautiful post, once again! Thanks a lot for sharing these spectacular views.

I think you did well by going out and not staying home. We need to enjoy this life while we can! :-)

Thank you! You are right, I was just afraid I would be in pain again, but it all went very well :) It was a good decision.

Have a great start of the week! I hope it's sunny in Portugal :)

You had me at the first photo Martina! I really envy your visitors

Thank you Pauline! I would love to take you around if you would ever get to Switzerland :) Do let me know if you would be planning a trip!

I definitely will!!!!

Wow, what a beautiful place and thank you for sharing what can only be described as an incredible place of awe and natural wonder... Amden you say? :) Europe has so much to offer in terms of natural scenery, I always thought of going further afield but it's right on my doorstep (almost) - I'm from the UK.

Hope your legs are a lot better after this walk, will you scale it again fully once you've recovered or look for another more gentle hiking adventure? :)

Yes, it's Amden but it doesn't matter in the Swiss Alps :) All places are amazing and offer beautiful views :) Just get here and you'll see it yourself :)

I've only been to the UK once.. and I only visited London, lol. So in this regards I should also make some effort to travel there more..

I feel better, thank you. When I fully recover I'm going to scale it fully and nothing is going to stop me! There is something amazing about feeling exhausted while hiking up the mountain and feeling like a hero while conquering the summit. Next few days everything will hurt you but it was all worth it :)

Thank you for stopping by Nicky!

I have seen too many beautiful pictures / videos of the alps and I need to address that situation of not going there. I will heed your advice

Yea if you only went to London you would have seen the concrete jungle that it is! There are so many amazing national parks in the UK so next time you are over, you must visit them 😀

Go and scale those mountains, I know exactly what you mean. Once you make it to the top, you want to stay there for a long time. I consider the sore legs a trophy for my endeavours

Looking through the pictures I would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite! I'm glad you are feeling well enough to get out and enjoy the beauty of the mountains again so soon. Movement within reason is generally wonderful for recovery, as is that fresh mountain air I am sure. I am sure the moment with the dog playing with the cows was pure simple joy! Makes you realize all of us animals have a kinship despite our differences. Thank you for sharing another magical journey!

You don't need to pick your favorite :)

Thank you! Yes, I feel better and I hope it will get even better in the next days. I can't wait for the weekend to come :)

Oh Katie, that was amazing. I have never seen something like that. Makes you want to cry when you think that you were eating them in the past...

Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words, dear Katie!

Nature at best or you got some perfect angle to shot all these beautiful pictures. All of them are superb , our own queen got a magical touch with the camera too...hope you have some wonderful time on your vacation and get back soon with some amazing moments to share with us

Posted using Partiko Android

Maybe I'm a creature between a queen and a witch that's why I have a magical touch with the camera :D

I'm not on vacation :D that's where I live.. actually 1 hour from this place ;)

Thank you for stopping by!

Gorgeous photos @delishtreats. It’s good to see you not skipping a beat after surgery :). At least e still get to accompany you on your adventures and it’s good you’re feeling well enough to continue your adventures.

My gosh, those views are magical. I always feel so close to God when I’m able to get above the clouds like that. Truly an awesome tour my friend.

Yes, I have to go slowly and can't do crazy altitudes but I'm on a good way. I think that the second surgery will be needed but it should not be that bad, so I hope I'll be able to continue walking :)

Yes! Those views are breathtaking. When we don't know where to go, this is our place number 1. So easy to get there and the views you get are similar to the ones from places where you have to hike for a few hours :)

Thank you for visiting my dear!

I hope you are able to continue walking also. You know it’s difficult for my husband to hike so we pretty much stay away from many walking activities. Instead we ride our bicycles everywhere and that how we view the world around us. It’s still pretty fun and when he’s not around I go get in a few miles daily. I don’t think we could make it to some of those views on bicycles though… maybe an atv would work 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s a beautiful number 1 place to have @delsihtreats :)

Oh, I didn't know that it's difficult for your husband to hike. I'm sorry to hear that. If you would come to Switzerland there are many cable cars that you can use :)

Bicycles are great too! I don't ride mine as much as I should but I'll try to do it a little more often..

Thank you for visiting my dear!

Oh we’d love to visit Switzerland. If there is a cable car then we are in for any of the activities. We actually just started riding our bikes a lot this past year. We literally peddle everywhere, except the grocery store for obvious reasons, if we can’t get there by bike then we usually don’t go. Haha… it’s easy for us because we live on the coast. It’s super bike friendly and there’s always something to do. Maybe one of these days I’ll post a bicycle tour of my city…

Anyway, it’s always nice chatting with you.

What a wonderful blog @delishtreats Superb photography and stunning views @delishtreats. I can completely understand why those picturesque places of peace and tranquility would be ideal venues to inspire artists, writers, and sculptors etc. I hope your healing continues so that you can continue to experience quality of life and keep producing great blogs such as this one.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment @trudeehunter!

I also think that this kind of places are very inspirational. You can also learn a lot about yourself by just sitting there and enjoying the moment.

Thank you for your kind wishes! I do feel better even though I think that the second surgery is inevitable. As long as I will be able to move better afterwards, I will be happy :)

Have a lovely day!

My pleasure @delishtreats I look forward to reading more of your blogs and I wish you all the very best towards healing and achieving all you'd like to in life. Enjoy your day too.

Thank you for the nice compliment! I'm just a hobby photographer :) I'm sure you can easily improve your photography skills!

Wow, the Alps are such massive mountains! I'm always amazed when I see photos of the Alps. Giant rocky peaks and beautiful green meadows everywhere! I would love to get to visit there someday.

This is just the beginning of the Alps. If you go deeper, the mountains get higher and even more massive. I might do a trip there when I feel better.

I hope you can make it here! :)

Thank you for stopping by!

Those are amazing shots!Just looking at the photos makes it looks so therapeutic. Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous views - breathtaking! What a wonderful nature gave the god of Switzerland. If the prices you did not have the same sky-high as your mountains, I would certainly go to you to paint in watercolor!

Oh, you are right, the prices here are very high BUT you can also make a cheaper vacation here if you do a little research :) You should come!

Thank you for stopping by!

Oh and glad you feel better already, I've seen ur comment somewhere that u r not well..

Yes! :) I used to live in Belgium and I studied Dutch for foreigners at the university there. I have higher qualification in Dutch then in English :)

I feel better now and hopefully there will be no need for the second surgery but we'll see.

Have a great day Matko! :)

Love the pictures!

Thank you!

Martina, glad you were feel well enought to get out. Nature has a great way of healing. This place is on my list for when I visit! Wow so beautiful. The sculptures were great too!

Thank you Sara. Yes, I couldn't sit at home any longer. I spent a lot of time inside during the week and I have to go out during the weekend to maintain my sanity :)

You just plan your trip and I'll take you around :)

oo this remaining me of my country. a love the blur back ground and focus on the plants in the front. the head feels better going on a trip like this fore sure. iven if the dr is saying take is slow. :)

Thank you for stopping by! I'm glad it reminded you of your country :) I'm glad that you like it. I thought this effect was unusual. I'm still taking it slow though :) It was a very easy walk in comparison to what I was doing before :)

Stunning shots, @delishtreats!!! I would visit you too, if that’s what you’re offering to your visitors😂😂

Come here and I'll take you around! :D

Stunning photos:)

Thank you!

I would have felt like at any moment I were going to float away to Heaven...oh my...

And that was just 1000 meters above sea level.. long way to heaven Lyndsay :) Check out my post from last week (If you haven't done so yet).. we went to 2500 meters above sea level :)

Oh my...I'm on my way!

Holy cow! All I can say is Amden looks like a magical place! You're very fortunate to have been there! Thanks for sharing!

Hahaha, what a great GIF! Yes, I feel blessed to live in Switzerland. But believe it wasn't a country I would ever consider to move in.. then I got to know my husband who was moving to Switzerland, so I moved as well.. and now I'm glad I did :)

Thank you for visiting!

Holy crap I can't get over how beautiful it is where you live

Me neither :D Switzerland doesn't cease to amaze me :)

That first shot looks incredible! I must say, it does not look like an "easy walk" at least by my standards any how. Interesting stone monuments too, those carvings look very precise from a glimpse.

Thank you for stopping by Jeremy!

Yes, you are right, it was not an easy walk by my standards either :) But I made it and I was so proud of myself that I did :)

Stunning views! The sky is so clear and blue, absolutely beautiful!

It was a great day! Thank you for stopping by, @joelai!

My pleasure @delishtreats!

Wow, so beautiful photos of mother nature;) It looks you had blast with cows :D

Hahaha, yeah! We had a great time with them! I'm not so sure how they feel about the time with us though :)

Thank you for stopping by!

Where is the place? Stunning scenario! The sky is so clear and blue, absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing.

The place is called Amden (it's in the title) and it's in Switzerland. Thank you for stopping by!
