Kleine Scheidegg is the starting point of many hiking trails in every direction. I chose a trail from Kleine Scheidegg to Alpingen which was a station on the way back to Grindelwald.

The weather was nice and the hike to Alpingen had great views of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. The mountains were set off against the blue sky and beautiful wildflowers were everywhere. This was the way Switzerland should always be!

I passed by several intermediate stations on the way to Grindelwald and arrived at Alpingen. There was a small restaurant nearby the railway station and it was a good place for a rest with beer.
I initially intended to take a train at Alpingen, but I changed my mind and decided to walk all the way to Grindelwald!

I kept on walking, all the while checking road signs.
My toe hurt...it was tough work beyond my expectation.

I was walking...walking...and continued to walk, and kept walking toward Grindelwald!

"I give up!"
At last the Grindelwald station came into view but I gave up!
I headed to Grund station, the next station to Grindelwald station!
I felt like my left little toe was breaking away!!!!

When I got back to my hotel room, my legs were tired from walking for hours. Though I came all the way here, my dinner was takeaway Chinese once again...just like yesterday.
