点评:Wow!! That's about all I could say when taking this lift from Isenfluh to the mountain village of Sulwald. It felt like a private ride up to a resort, but it's just the normal public transport to the mountain. Only 8 people (or 1 cow) at a time can travel on this gondola. Yes, they actually do use it for cows when it's an emergency situation.
Honestly, I was surprised that not many tourists visit this place. I'm assuming that's because large vehicles and buses can't navigate the very narrow & winding cliffside road that leads up to Isenfluh. Most people head to Jungfraujoch and totally miss this secluded gem. We were very fortunate that Chris (our tour guide) made this detour for a lovely hike & lunch up at Sulwald Stübli.
The lift takes you right up to the restaurant. Depending on the season, there are monster scooters (with big wheels) and sleds (to sledge in the snow) for a rental fee. We took the hiking trails up to the viewing platform that has a magnificent view of the iconic Swiss mountains. The Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau are prominently seen from this point. We could even see Jungfraujoch's observatory in between the Mönch & Jungfrau. It was great to actually see where we had been prior to visiting Sulwald. What a gorgeous view!
There were roosters along the way. I believe the cows had already been taken down the mountain in a previous parade. Although, they may have been on a different hiking path that we didn't take. The highlight for us was the lift ride, the view, and the restaurant. Simply AMAZING!! It's a farmer's life up there. It's most definitely worth the trip off the beaten path to get to it. We'll always remember this day!
翻译:哇!!从伊森弗鲁乘坐缆车到山村苏瓦尔德(Sulwald)时,我几乎只能说这些了。感觉就像坐私人缆车上山,去度假村一样,但其实它只是普通的公共交通工具而已。缆车每次只能载8个人(或1头牛)。没错,紧急情况下,他们确实会用缆车载牛。
说实话,我很惊讶这里游客不多。我猜是因为大型车辆和巴士无法在通往伊森弗鲁的那条狭窄蜿蜒的悬崖边路上行驶。大多数人都去了少女峰,完全错过了这颗僻静的宝石。我们很幸运,克里斯(我们的导游)绕道去了苏瓦尔德山庄(Sulwald Stübli),享受了一次美好的徒步旅行和午餐。
缆车可以直接带你到餐厅。根据季节不同,这里提供收费租赁的巨型滑板车(轮子很大)和雪橇(可以在雪地里滑行)。我们沿着徒步小径登上观景台,从那里可以一览瑞士标志性山脉的壮丽景色。从这里可以清晰地看到艾格峰、僧侣峰和少女峰。我们甚至可以看到位于僧侣峰和少女峰之间的少女峰天文台。能够亲眼看到我们在参观苏尔瓦尔德之前去过的地方真是太棒了。景色真是太美了!
沿途可以看到公鸡。我相信奶牛在之前的游行中已经被赶下山了。不过,它们可能走的是另一条我们没有走过的徒步路线。对我们来说,最精彩的是乘坐缆车、欣赏美景和餐厅。简直太棒了!!那里就像是农民的生活。绝对值得我们走这条人迹罕至的小路。我们会永远记住这一天!
