Even though it only took us one hour to get to our starting point of Schönenberg, soon after we started walking along the river the sky got overcast, but this did not matter much, as most of the 2.5-hour walk was through forests or tunnels with the pleasant sound of flowing waters, and was not bad for an afternoon walk. Plus we had plans for a long trip and strenuous hike for Sunday.

We don't often see white cows, and this looks especially unusual with a brown calf! |
Attractive houses and lots of pasture land and rolling hills in this area |
Pleasant landscapes |
Heading down to the forest which marks where the Sihl River flows |

This little restaurant called Sihlmatt, tucked away between the river and the hills, boasts the best fish dishes, made with their own homegrown fish |

Man-made tunnels carved out of the Molasse so that a trail could be built along the river |
There is a small waterfall near here called "Sihlsprung". There was a big rock slide near here this Spring, and the trail was closed until just very recently. |
A lot of the trail was through the forest. Often we also enjoy forest trails |
Autumn Crocuses announce the arrival of Fall |
Every once in a while we came across another farm |
Covered bridge near Hintersennweid. I always find these wooden bridges very attractive |
Two houses joined by a staircase |

Last stretch of forest before Sihlbrugg. It would have been magical if the sun had been shining |
