Kandersteg seen from the Oeschinenlake cable car
Kandersteg has two churches. The Protestant church is in the village hub-bub. The bells ring every fifteen minutes. We often stopped for a beer/ice cream break (one or the other-not both at the same time) at the Cafe Schweizerhof that is directly opposite the church.
Service times are listed on the boards in front of the church. In July and August there are services in English.
And aside from the territorial acting cows, the sheep also ran around, frolicking, in the pastoral fields of Berneroberland. If I end up stuck out in the mountains and a storm arose, I'd be running after one of these little ones in attempts to steal their wool. It's a cataclysm that I was not born with layers of wool to protect my ever-cold body.
I always enjoy walking in the fresh swiss mountain air, even if its not clear blue sky.
Walks in Kandersteg are varied - much more available than the few we managed in our short stay. With the cable car and chairlift options there are walks to suit all levels and as usual they are clearly marked.
Here is Bob's mountain. That stinker had a rainbow on his one night! Kandersteg is surrounded by mountains, no matter which way you look... Clear mountains could become cloud covered within the hour. Those clouds could get 'hung up' or drift on away. I loved watching the constant changes...
Most chalets have flower boxes and gardens. There are some vegetable gardens as well. I was surprised at how many of the flowers were the same type as what I grow at home-but bigger, healthier, and more colorful! So we came up with 3 ideas why it is so: (can't be because of MY gardening skills)
1. the mountain air
2. the glacier water
3. the cow manure in the soil
My husband thought I should bring some cow patties home to experiment with in my garden. I rejected the idea. (although having that in my plane carry-on might have given me a few clear seats on either side of myself...)
