Day 5 - from Linthal to Brüsti

We woke up in Linthal completely tired. May be not so tired from trekking, but quite tired from bad weather..
Just felt like escaping rain and clouds and taking a plane to south Italy or something..
We did not take a plane to Italy, but we decided to go as far as possible all the way to Brysti. That would mean - 35 kilometers. And that means - bus and cable car! Just escaping bad weather...

We checked out at 9:30, paied 90 franks for bed and breakfast, and went to the bus stop. Linthal was covered with the clouds and we could not appreciate any of its beauty.
Post bus brought us up to Klausenpass, where weather was already much better. WE looked for micro geocache up there, but with no sucsess.
As Klausenpass is quite popular place, up there is some small restraunt-shop, i bought postcard and sent greetings to my sister in Estonia, Wolf skipped greeting his relatives. :)


As weather was drastically improving, we decided to change a bit our escaping plan and walk a bit - anyway we came here to walk, not to drive buses :)
That was stange walk on a big road, qutie croweded road. After few days of quite some solitude, it was a bit painful to be around of many people..

We walked to the next place, and then to the next.. Making some stops and enjoying the scenery. Down there was incredibly beautiful valley..
Thats was my first time in the mountains and was funny to observe the mind - how it tired to define unknown landscape according to know categories. Mind can do whatever it wants, I was just accepting and absorbing all that beauty...

We made one short stop, ate few peaches and some candies. My feet were giving up - and not willing to move any longer. But who will listen to their complains.. :)
We walked more for two hours and heared sound of approaching bus.

Silent conversation:
me: opens wide her big green eyes, and looks into the eyes of a bus driver with all sadness of tha wolrd.
bus driver: askes with his shoulders and smile, if we want to jump in.
me: gladly and happily nodding.
bus driver: pulls the brakes.

So we basically hitch-hiked the bus without even putting up the tumb :)
We got free drive thanks to our Swiss cards.

Soon we were in Altdorf, which is may be nice town, but we both did not like the energy there, may it was just about the crowd.
We stoped by in the shop, bought some fresh fruits and veggies and went to look for him:


that was the Wilhelm Tell. yeah. local hero. :)

We left from Altdorf quite quickly to Attinghausen and from there with cable car to Brysti.

It was so nice after crowded Klausenpass, ALtdorf, Attinghausen to get up - closer to the sky - to peaceful surroundings, where sun is shining more brightly, when you feel yourself more and more, as nobody else is around.
You and All.

We got extremely nice room in a z'Graggen guesthouse.
Nice hosts, good pasta and beautiful mountain scenery seen just from you bedroom window.

Foot got their rest today, so tomorrow we will be full of power, energy to continiue our journey to to Engelberg through Surenenpass (2 290 m)
