Today Stefan took us for a trip into the mountains south of Oberkirch. We had rainy weather unfortunately, but were able to enjoy a Swiss summer pastime. The ski slopes are reworked so that a metal track is placed in to the earth and carts are hoisted to the top and released onto the track! It is called a rodel and it was a lot of fun! Lukas is getting hitched up for the long ride to the top. Actually Lukes’ cart was dislodged from the lift and he started backwards down the moutain. Luckily Arno’s cart was able to hoist both Luke’s and Arno’s to the top. It could have been a very interesting ride for the both of them…..BACKWARDS!

Heading up the slope in the cart! YIKES!

Below: Lukas gets down to the bottom in one piece!

Arno also makes it in flying colors!


Stefan and Leo are the last ones to get down and I think Leo was glad to have it behind him!
