Hiking trail

Many of the hiking trails have been renovated and are now very nice. Here is the rail from Seelmatten up to the Hochegg.

The countryside around Seelmatten is actually very nice with the Bichelsee in the back.

Fairytale Forrest

Near Girenbad there is a small forest with a villa for children

a number of mushrooms

and a big dwarf

and a lot of other funny things including a nice fireplace where the sausages bought in the small Fuster shop in Girenbad can be cooked.

Irresponsible and childish parents

Initially I thought that some children had no better ideas than to burn firework in the night of August 3th. As it was raining on August 1st they could not go out and burn their fireworks at the usual national birthday time. On August 1st it is possible for people with animals to prepare or to o away to a quite place. This time it turned out to be very dangerous as my wife was just on the way with her horses which panicked. It was very sad to see that it were not the children but their irresponsible parents which organized the event. They didn't even stop after four people had complained and explained them how dangerous their behavior can be.

Here is a good guide for all who are not aware of this. Please note that the time in there are not directly applicable to Switzerland - here the calm period of the night starts at 22:00.
