Day 4th in Grindelwald, it was also sunny.
The Eiger north face stood out clearly against the blue sky and it was so beautiful. If you have good eyes and you are lucky, you may be able to see people climbing the steep, rugged face

In the early morning, I immediately went back to Kleine Scheidegg, a great place for hiking!

First, I took one of the hiking trails to Wengen from Kleine Scheidegg.

It's mostly downhill from Kleine Scheidegg and it's an easy stroll. The scenery along the way was beautiful.

The view of the famous mountains, Jungfrau, Eiger and Moench against a background of blue sky, was really wonderful. But unfortunately, on the way from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengen you have to walk with your back against such great views....

Beer break near Wengernalp railway station.
... And I gave up walking to Wengen!

I moved from Wengernalp to Wengen by train.
The trains are really convenient for hiking around Grindelwald area because you can hop on and off at any point along the hiking trails.
I'd say that's the best point of hiking around Grindelwald area, especially for a complete beginner hiker like me.

Just like before, I headed to the top of Maennlichen from Wengen. My journey was very flexible because of my Jungfraubahnen Pass.
