Hiking near Wollerau

Switzerland  (October, 2004)

Bengt and Lisbeth are former next-door neighbors who moved to the city of Wollerau in Canton Schwyz, about

18 kilometers (11miles), as the crow flies, from our home in Thalwil.  One fall afternoon, the four of us met near

Wollerau for a leisure hike through the surrounding countryside, followed by dinner and drinks at their new place.

How green is this valley, in mid-October, no less?
