Our time in Germany was billed as a walking holiday with added culture. It’s turned out to be a cultural holiday with added walking. Which is perfectly fine. Just let me show you a couple of shots from our walk today, in an area known as Little Switzerland. Hilly, forested, with flower-strewn meadows, and birdsong, always birdsong, this is easy, relaxing walking country.

Somehow, my photos haven’t really worked to convey what this area really looks like. But still ….

I wish my photos did it justice. It’s so lush, forested and fertile looking.

I may get around to a post where my pictures don’t capture what I want to show. It’s frustrating. But I am quietly glad that there are still places where we really have to see them for ourselves to get a real understanding of them. You have been showing us an area that I have no knowledge of whatsoever and it’s been fascinating. It seems like a beautiful and gentle forgotten corner of the world, filled with history and quirkiness and everywhere, that wonderful lush greenery. I would love to visit! 🙂

I can’t recommend this area too highly. Uncluttered, unspoilt, with fascinating culture, great countryside, and a real chance to relax, even while being busy with all the area has to offer.

It looks wonderful! Isn’t it strange how some holidays never turn out how you’d imagined they would?

It is pretty. And finally, on the last day, we found it could be dramatic too.

They DO look a bit like parts of my home country…. but then they also don’t! It’s difficult to explain – we have such an incredible variety of landscapes, lakes, rivers, mountains, hills, cities and small villages, and the people who go with it 😉

I must say, it didn’t look remotely like Switzerland to me, though since posting those photos, we did see much hillier and rockier places than I had seen that day. Not Switzerland then ….. but very nice in its own right. There is a part of Leeds, big city Leeds, called Little Switzerland, full of suburban semis. Now that IS hard to believe.
