Grindelwald, Switzerland! (Part 2 - Pfingstegg)

On the day we arrived into Grindelwald, we decide to take a mini exploration to a nearby mountain by taking one of their shorter cable car rides. (On a different exploration, we took a 30min long cable car ride!) We go to Pfingstegg, which is about 4500ft elevation, to get a better view of Grindelwald. Please, enjoy the view that we experienced from the cable car!




The snowy mountains in the distance, you could see glaciers! Apparantly, they have glacier hikes! That sounded really cool, but probably not a good idea for a newbie like me to take such a dangerous hike, haha!

...And these are the cows we saw at Pfingstegg. Everywhere in Grindelwald you'll see cows eating away on the endless acres of grass! They don't really fence the cows into an area, they just roam around freely. So, tourists can come very close to them, and they don't seem to be bothered by the constant attention!


We then say goodnight to our first night in Grindelwald and get plenty of sleep to take the amazing trip to Top of Europe where we get pretty light-headed being in 11,300ft high elevation!
