Central Europe 2

On Saturday 11 August I took off on my journey with the drive to Jacobsbad in Switzerland. There I put up my new 3-second tent on a campsite. Next day I drove to Schwägalp, where the funicular railway to the top of Mount Säntis starts. The town was totally overrrun with Swiss watching the Schwägalp Schwinget, a Swiss wrestling competition. I made a 4-hour hike over the rocky top of Mount Säntis before returning down, and watching part of the competition as well.

On Monday I cruised the Swiss country roads to Liechtenstein. When I asked a local girl about the things to see, she answered me it was only the shopping in the capital Vaduz. At that time I understood the reason I had never been to the Principality of Liechtenstein before: there is simply nothing to do and see in this valley between the mountains of Switzerland and Austria. So I continued my cruise, and drove the German country roads to Schwangau, where I put up my tent at the Bannwaldsee.
