Chapter 736: The Alpine Road

Switzerland's nickname is "World Park", which is not a joke, and it is a good idea of what the Swiss landscape is like.

Tang Feng has also been to Europe before, but at that time, Tang Feng was a pure sling, and they came to Europe with the leader, and it was also the hardest work to do, as for tourism, hehe

Later, after Tang Feng made a fortune, although he was also all over the world, he really didn't calm down and play comfortably. When he first got the star core, he went around Australia for half a circle on a road trip, but at that time, Tang Feng was more worried about how to upgrade the star core; Later, I took Sofia on a road trip in Argentina, and I also had a task, and I didn't have a very happy time. Only this time, Tang Feng really let go of everything and accompanied Sophia and her three sons to really play in this picturesque country with peace of mind.

Speaking of Switzerland, after two or three days of playing, Tang Feng summed up four words for this country with only more than 40,000 square kilometers - lakes and mountains.

Indeed it is. The vast majority of the Swiss mountains, especially the Alps in the south-central part of the country, occupy 60% of the entire Swiss land area, and the snow-capped meltwater flowing down from the Alps has formed famous lakes at the northern foot of the mountains.

In Switzerland, there are a total of 1,498 lakes, most of which are located in the northern foothills of the Alps, including Lake Leman, the largest lake in Switzerland, also known as Lake Geneva, as well as Lake Thun, Lake Brienz, Lake Lucerne, and Lake Zug and Lake Zurich, which Tang Feng has visited.

The Tang family travelled from the southern tip of Lake Zug along Route 4 to Lake Lucerne, also known as Lake Lucerne, the fourth largest lake in Switzerland, a few kilometers away. It is also the largest lake located entirely in Switzerland. Like Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne is a moraine lake.

In the south-central part of the lake, the shoreline is mostly peaks or cliffs over 1,500 meters above sea level, and although Route 4 runs along the lakeshore, the road is a bit winding, so the speed cannot be increased at all. However, this is also in line with Tang Feng's intentions. Just drive the car slowly.

The view of Lake Lucerne is beautiful, but if you see too much, it will be like that, so when Tang Feng and his family arrived in Altdorf at the southern end of Lake Lucerne, Tang Feng stopped the car and asked Sophia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Honey, what do you want to do next?" ”

Sophia was holding a large-scale map of Switzerland in her hand, and she seemed a little embarrassed at this time. Pointing to the map, he said: "Wind, if we continue along the lake, we will reach the city of Lucerne, which is not bad, but I would like to go inside the Alps." The scenery here is really nice, much better than the Rocky Mountains. ”

Tang Feng smiled and said: "Since you like the scenery in the mountains, then let's go into the mountains, anyway, the roads in the mountains are not difficult to walk!" My dear. Our next stop is Interlaken, how about we go and see the famous Jungfraujoch? ”

Sophia nodded with a smile.

Tang Feng lit the fire. Gear up and head south along the somewhat winding Route 2 and plunge headlong into the snowy Alps.

Switzerland is well connected by roads, even in the rugged Alps. Although these roads are not high-grade roads, they are in very good condition. Most of them are located in the valleys of the Alps. Just like the No. 2 Highway taken by Tang Feng, it is along the course of the Reuss River.

Walking on such a road, you can see snow-capped mountains on both sides of your head, and below the snow line, the lush vegetation is particularly eye-catching. Next to it is the raging Reuss River. It's early spring, when the river is at its most abundant, and the Reuss, the largest river that flows into Lake Lucerne, is quite manic.

The sky is like a sapphire, flanked by white snow-capped mountains, with lush vegetation beneath the snow-capped mountains, surging rivers beside you, the famous Swiss Glacier Express railway line not far away, and from time to time you can see cattle and sheep leisurely eating on the hillside, this scenery is even more beautiful than a painting.

It was already noon along Route 2 to the small town of Hospenthal, and after the family had lunch in this town of just over 200 people, they set foot on Country Road 19 again, and continued west along the banks of the Reuss River and the Glacier Express railway line, and after crossing the Fukar Pass, the originally straight Route 19 became a winding mountain road, and the Reuss River, which had been following them, disappeared and was replaced by the Rhône River, which flows into Lake Geneva.

The Glacier Express railway line, which has been two or three hundred meters away on the south side of the road, has also plunged headlong into the majestic Fukar Mountains. The altitude is so high and the mountains are so steep that the Glacier Express railway line has to pass through a tunnel to pass through the Fucar.

When the Glacier Express railway line emerges from the mountains of Mount Fucar, it is a very simple little station, and then the famous railway line can be accompanied all the way, and the Tang family even extended their hands to greet tourists on a passing passenger train.

When Route 19 and the Rail Line and the Rhône finally converge, the town of Gragech arrived.

It's a small town, but it's a confluence of Route 19, Route 6, the Glacier Express railway line and the Rhône, and if you continue west along Route 19, you can go straight to Geneva, but you can also go to France or south to Italy. But if you switch to Route 6, you can head north via the rugged winding road, through the Vig Valley, out of the Alps again and to Interlaken between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.

Tang Feng and his family's destination was Interlaken, so naturally they didn't go down Route 19 anymore, but after a short break in the small town of Grech, they drove to Route 6 and plunged into the Vig Valley.

Compared to Route 19, Route 6 is undoubtedly much more difficult to walk, just out of the small town of Grech, is a section of seven nearly 180 degrees of "zigzag" winding mountain road, and then the next mountain road, in addition to the "zigzag" mountain road, is the tunnel

Tang Feng's driving skills are still quite good, but in this road condition, he can only drive carefully, and it took almost two and a half hours to complete the journey of more than 80 kilometers, and finally came to Interlaken in the evening. (To be continued.) )
