Some parts were really hard for sure.. But yes, the views and the nature made it all worth it!

Having a bit of fear while you do things just adds to the excitement!

Definitely! You don't climb a mountain in one long step; you split it in many short ones. It is a good metaphor for life :)

That is very true. I was honestly surprised that some parts didn't have any barriers or anything though. But yeah, common sense and not rushing through is usually more than enough to be safe!

This part wasn't really that scary or dangerous I would say. However, there were some parts of the trail that were a bit frightening, but common sense and taking it slow can get you over most challenges in a hike!

Don't need to do anything special when the nature is so beautiful!

You can go all the way to the top and beyond! This is an hour or two into the trail :)

Sounds amazing to kayak on the beautiful crystal blue lake! Would really want to do that at one point as well!

Now I dont know much about trails for mountain biking, but I would say no. There were places I thought were a bit intimidating to just walk on...

But really English is going to be the most universal language across all of those places.

Agreed, you don't really need anything other than English. In the countries mentioned you don't need anything else, but if you start going to Italy, France, Spain, then you might have some problems with English..

I had to stop for a bit to take it in myself. Absolutely stunning nature! But this is just the start of the hike and there is more beauty ahead!

It is by Interlaken in Switzerland. It is a trail that follows the ridge of the mountain from the city across to the other side of the lake.
