#DecemberTravelSupportEvent #OeschinenLake #Switzerland Even if the sun doesn't rise, Switzerland is a charming place in itself. I can't believe that I'm in this scenery while looking at it and taking pictures. Even if it's not the destination, the journey itself is enjoyable. It's fun even if it rains. Just being there makes me feel grateful and positive. When will I ever see nature that I can't see in Korea again? Even if I travel alone, time flies when I take pictures.

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent #Switzerland #SwitzerlandTravel It was a trip to Switzerland where I couldn't put down my camera. Even when it rained, the sun was out, I was on the train, and at night, every moment was charming. I usually sleep when I'm on the train, but I couldn't sleep. It was so beautiful :) I went to Zermatt, Grindelwald, Interlaken, and Lucerne! Among them, Lake Oeschinen and Lake Thun were personally impressive. Of course, they were all beautiful, but I guess that's my ranking. I definitely want to come back with my family. That time, instead of staying at a hostel, I'll rent a traditional house!

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent #Oeschinen #SwitzerlandTravel #Switzerland Usually, Oeschinen Lake and Blausee Lake go together, but I only went to Oeschinen on this day. I went to Blausee Lake the other day, but Oeschinen is at sea level, so it feels like walking on top of a mountain range. I personally thought it was much more impactful. I think the mountain spirit will come out. Don't give up because the weather is bad! No one knows when the weather in Switzerland will change. Don't trust the weather until you go. It's random. I'm going to go in the summer and definitely do some trekking.

Personally, if I had to pick the best place in Switzerland, it would be Lake Oeschinen. If you are visiting Switzerland on a short trip, Lake Oeschinen is likely to be excluded due to time constraints. I was in Switzerland for over a week in mid-May, and since my trip wasn't too tight, I chose the place flexibly depending on the weather. In May, Switzerland was cold because it rained a lot. It was hot on a sunny day. It was raining that day, so I was looking for a place to go and ended up going to Lake Oeschinen. At first, I couldn't see anything because of the rain and clouds, so I just wanted to enjoy the silence and go, but soon after, the rain stopped and the sun came out! The sunlight and clouds reflecting on the emerald water were truly spectacular. In fact, there were no people because it was raining. I think the weather is really hard to predict. If I go back in the summer, I will definitely go trekking! The best. 🧚🏻♂️Oeschinensee Lake #December Travel Grant Event #Swiss Travel #Switzerland

Like other Swiss travel destinations, the weather is important for Oeschinen Lake as well, so it is recommended to check the webcam in advance.

#Overseas travel The first photo is the Oesinen Lake photo zone. If you visit on a really nice day, The sunlight really pours down and embroiders stars on the lake, And you can see a picturesque landscape with the rocky mountains surrounding the lake. There were people swimming in the lake, But the water is quite cold. There is a bathroom near the lake. It's a bit like a train bathroom, So it would be better to wear a swimsuit inside. The view was great, so I had a packed lunch. 🍱

#Overseas travel #Switzerland If you trek to the left at the middle fork, you will come across the summit, a photo zone of Lake Oeschinen. If you go to the left, the lake direction is steep and downhill, so it is dangerous, so if you are with children, I recommend going to the right and then returning to the left. If you follow the left path, you will walk along the forest path. The charm of Switzerland is that the mountains slightly covered with snow are in harmony with the greenery.

#Overseas travel #Switzerland #Oeschinen Lake You have to walk from the station to the cable car boarding place. You can just keep going straight It takes about 15~20 minutes to walk to the Oeschinen Lake cable car. I was walking in the open field looking at the mountains in the distance I was so excited by the wide open view. Until you see the sign, keep going straight at the fork in the road And when the sign directs you to the left, You will see the gondola boarding place.

#europetrip The most anticipated walk in Switzerland is that the time is really fast. Who would believe that I have been on a graduation trip to Switzerland with my best friend since I started flying high in the sky!

Although the first two hours will be a bit tiring because of the uphill climb, it is really worth it! I was "wow"ing all the way up, and the view will definitely not disappoint you! Basically it takes 3-4 hours to get back to the starting point of the cable car. I will definitely list it as a must-hike route in my life, it’s so beautiful! 🥰
