No matter how much I say I love you both, I always love you both more than that!! ❤️💙
.
.

Although I am two days late to celebrate #childrensrights , but honestly we are NEVER too late for that!!! ❤️❤️
.
.
Two days ago was the 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, children and adults from the whole of Switzerland celebrated the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱, which came in to effect in nearly EVERY COUNTRY in the WORLD. .

Unicef has spent the last, I believe it was 70 Years 💪🏼🍀🎉protecting children's rights.
.
.
What a great work.
This is the time of the year where we as a family donate. There are different organisations, whether it is here in Switzerland, in the UK or further afield. A little donation is not hurting us but helps a child somewhere in need. 🥰
.
.

Happy festive time to ALL CHILDREN !!!🎄🎅✨
YOU are the best, you make our lives fun and wonderful. Rainbows and Unicorns becoming alive again.
THANK YOU!!❤️

Before we're changing to our winter feed, I wanted to share with you one more photo of the Aescher Wildkirchli hike at the Ebenalp in Canton Appenzell. (see two posts back) .
.

Before reaching the Aescher Inn itself you will pass by this stunning Chapel built into the cliff face.
.
.
FACTS
The Cave Chapel was established in 1621; the Hermit’s House was built in 1658 and offered sanctuary to hermits until 1853. The place was occupied by around two dozen laymen, who lived solitary lives in the Wildkirchli as guardians of this holy place. The hermits rang the bell five times each day at prayer times. They were permitted to keep two goats and received butter, cheese and whey from the local herdsmen.
.
.

Honestly how absolutely amazing is this place? 🤩🤩
Anyone saved this post and added it to the MUST See things in Switzerland list?? 🇨🇭🇨🇭❤️❤️

“Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.” - Mary Tyler Moore⁣
.
.
On an earlier post I talked about all the different chapels you will encounter when hiking in the Swiss Alps.
.
.

This is another one in the Findeln Hamlet when hiking down from Sunegga to Zermatt. Not sure what attracts more attention, the chapel or the Matterhorn in the background ? 🤔 you let me know!!??
.
.

FACTS ✨
Findeln, probably the sunniest hamlet in the vicinity of Zermatt, must have had a chapel from early on. In the days when agriculture was still the main source of income, the inhabitants of Zermatt would make a pilgrimage to Findeln after longer periods of rain during the hay harvesting season to pray for sunshine, the last time being in 1954.
.
.
Today’s chapel in the lower part of Findeln, “ze Gasse”, was built in either 1691 or 1697 – the latter year is inscribed on the tuff arch that frames the entrance doors – as a simple block structure with a recessed choir. It is dedicated to St James the Elder. It first appears in records as a simple prayer house without an altar. During the visitation by the bishop in 1765, the order was given to renovate the prayer house, which had been almost totally destroyed by an earthquake, and to equip it with a suitable altar.

One of the secrets to staying young is to always do things you don't know how to do, to keep learning!
Or go places you never been and learn about them.❤️
.
.
This place was for so many years on my bucket list. The Aescher. A Restaurant - Hotel built in to the rock in Appenzell in the Alpstein. .
A photo seen many times here on IG. A few weeks back, when we were finally standing in front of it and admired it together with the wild, surrounding nature, it was even better than imagined. .
.
Although the restaurant was closed due to renovations 😉 We could not go inside, nor could we enjoy a drink on their terrace but we were ALONE, not a single person was there to spoil our photos. .
.
We had the path and the Alpstein to ourselves.
.
.
The Aescher is easily reachable from the Ebenalp Cabelcar ( if it is not too windy) through the Wildkirchli caves! 15min on foot! .

.

Before the snow is completely covering this place lets see it one more time in its autumn beauty. .
When in Valais and you like to hike off the beaten path, then this is the place to be.
See the beautiful snowy peaks in the back, they are all waiting to be discovered by you.
Many great hikes suitable for all levels starting at the dam. Even multiple day hikes as there are some Cabane's happy to welcome you for an overnight.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!”
.
Do you agree that this fits for pretty much everything! .
.
No matter what you want to achieve in life, you need to start with the 1st step. .
There is so much I have on my to do list, and with the Advent time and Christmas approaching fast, everything feels a bit overwhelming. And one of my weakest points is, jumping around this list, rather than start at the beginning ( 1st step) and making my way down the list step by step! .
.
Who is with me on this and who is organised ? .
.
And on top of it our surrounding nature is so beautiful that we went for a nice stroll in Prarion / Valais rather then working my way down the list! 😉😂

I have learned whilst travelling some of the most amazing places over the last years, far and near, that nature’s beauty is a gift. .
But one needs to learn to cultivate and appreciate it. Once you realise what of a priceless gift it is you start to wanna see more and more of her.
.
.
I had to pinch myself to believe what we were seeing in front of us, when we were walking through this most amazing landscape at Prarion, the other day.
.
.
I love when the two seasons mix, autumn not yet gone and winter not yet here.
.
.
Absolutely stunning!!!

Best friends forever!!
.
With the first snowfall all over Valais the hiking season 2019 is truly ending...and what a great season it was.
.
.

It is fair to say that our kids are vivid good hikers for only 4 years and 4 months. This year we pushed them a bit more and more. I believe they have well over 200km/125mil of actual trails in their little legs starting in May in Canada and finishing this week.
.
.

And no, it was not always rainbows and butterflies, but we always made it. We had to push them sometimes, and sometimes even a bit more.
.
.

What is your best trick to make your kids hike? Do you push them sometimes?
And what are your 2020 hiking goals as a family??
.
.
We would love to do another multiple day hiking trip, but where? .

𝘍𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘚:
Switzerland has a long history of dam building: the oldest dam still in use is the Wenigerweiher in the eastern canton of St Gallen, built in 1822, and today the country has the greatest density of dams in the world.
.
.

𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱?
Around 2950-2750 B.C, the ancient Egyptians built the first known dam to exist. The dam was called the Sadd el-Kafara, which in Arabic means "Dam of the Pagans.
.
.

𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱?
The oldest known dam in the world is the Jawa Dam in what is now Jordan. It was built in about 3000 BC to store water to use for irrigation, or watering crops. People build reservoirs because the amount of water in a river varies over time.

A trip to the Engadin is completed by seeing the Bernina Express - Rhaetian Railway at least once! 🥳
.
.
Just so unique, and again I would say a Swiss ICON. You see pictures from the red train here on IG from all angles, locations and seasons.
.
.
On the highest railway across the Alps, the Bernina Express climbs up to the glistening glaciers before descending to the palms of Italy far below. .
.

This rail link between Northern and Southern Europe builds bridges between regions with different languages and cultures.
The railway is unique, blending ideally with the alpine landscapes around the Albula and Bernina Passes. The train negotiates the 55 tunnels, 196 bridges and inclines of up to 70 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 per mille with ease. At the highest point (photo) on the RhB, 2,253 metres above sea level, you will find the Ospizio Bernina. Here, visitors can delight in the cultural and natural surroundings and enjoy the Alps at their most impressive.
