“Elisa loves walking, so we decided to cover four stages of the Jura ridgeway together. We left on Thursday morning, travelling by train to Oberdorf and by chair lift to the Weissenstein. I am thoroughly enjoying this long adventure with my friend. Seeing the Bernese Alps, the Black Forest and the Vosges in the distance and passing close by steep cliffs, deep caves and peaceful springs and forests was absolutely marvellous. We spent four happy days talking, suffering a little on the major ascents and, most of all, admiring a beautiful region in its endless diversity.”
