Swiss walking | Seealpsee is really beautiful

Schedule:
About 2 hours one way from home. 1042 Get off, walk from Wasserauen to the lake, stop and take pictures spent more than 1 hour, then the lake restaurant lunch around the lake down the mountain, and finally take the 1548 train home very leisure ~

The mountain is a forest gravel road, there are some steps, you can not push the baby carriage. The last part of the forest up the hill is the best view. On the way, you can also see cows and goats, and you can touch them! Have fun touching the goatee mustache! Soft and slippery. Although this part of the road is a little bit not very easy to walk, but a friend's 5-year-old baby can also walk down for everyone's reference

Down the mountain is the whole concrete road, there is a certain steep, but the road is smooth, you can push the baby stroller (you can also see someone riding a bike to pull the baby stroller up the hill!) . But it was a bit of a steep walk. Cart words more pay attention to safety oh! Up and down these two roads can be chosen, depending on everyone's preference.

Then about buying train tickets!
The train from home to Wasserauen is all inclusive of GA, in order to facilitate peers, there are also some of the price after the half-price card. But my friends also have a surprise! If you buy a ticket to and from Thalwil to Wasserauen, it costs 41

But it's cheaper to buy them in two separate sections: Thalwil and Rapperswil, 13.4. Ostwind from Rapperswil to Wasserauen at 9 am day ticket 20, total 33.4~ save a lot of money hey hey. From Rapperswil, 15.8 one way, only 20 return! Much better than buying two paragraphs 15.8*2=31.6! Enjoy your hike, everyone!
