September 2, 2017 Trip to Einsiedeln Monastery

Not a great day for hiking today, so we drove to Einsiedeln to visit the huge monastery there. Even on cloudy days we still managed to have beautiful sights!

There is a lake just down the slope behind the monastery - lake Sihlsee

We drove a little further and I saw signs for Hoch Ybrig, which is a ski station at the end of the road here. We will take the lift up there another day when it's sunny.

View on the way back from Hoch Ybrig - this area is called Unteriberg.

On our ride home, we pass Sihlsee again - the south end of the lake

Since the sun began to pop out, we parked the car and decided to take a little hike up the hill off to the left

Looking back down at Sihlsee


We find a path along a little creek. 



Oh! a few more mountains are showing now.

Very nice Swiss house!

I don't think there is any town in Switzerland that would be considered Gross! Ha!
