We also hiked in Boltingen, an old ( it was mentioned first in 1276 ) small municipality in Obersimmental-Saanen, the Swiss Alps.

The area is heavily forested and has small orchards. I am such a fan of trees and the patches and rays of light that manage to breach the tree crowns. It is as if there were small spotlights and those deep shadows.

We hiked along the Sparemoos, a raised bog in 1800m elevation. I loved the mosses and the moist underground, which helped to provide a sensation of cool during the hot summer weather.

I know people like the closeup pictures of Ninja, hence the 4×5 version of the picture here. However I suggest to check out the beautiful picture in a wide format in our story. I hope you like it 😊
