Autumn is here! What a day... Sunny, making the au Autumn is here! What a day... Sunny, making the autumn colors really pop. And no wind, so caught the perfect reflection of the Brünnelistock. 😍 #hiking #hikingadventures #hikersofinstagram #wanderlust #mountains #getoutside #outdoors #mountainlovers #autumn #autumnvibes #schweizerwanderwege #swisstrails #schweizmobil #myswitzerland #glarus
In 3 days around Lake Constance or Bodensee. 3 day In 3 days around Lake Constance or Bodensee. 3 days, 3 countries and 190 km. Perfect weather, sometimes it might a well be cycling on the Mediterranean. Pro tip: cycling the "wrong" direction (counter clockwise) made it a bit easier, as most traffic goes the opposite direction. Good to see so many people enjoying a cycle trip though! #bikeholiday #cyclinglife #biketouring #cycletouring #biketravel #bikepacking #surlybikes #wanderlust #worldbycycling #worldbybike #cycle #bodensee #bodenseeradweg #lakeconstance #voralberg #thurgaubodensee

Dutch mountains! Everything is relative...still a Dutch mountains! Everything is relative...still a bit funny to see Dutchies walk in full-blown hiking boots in a landscape that would be considered "flat" in Switzerland. At least they were well protected against the mud. #hiking #intothewoods #naturelove #wandern #wandelen #limburg #epen #wanderlust #outdooradventures #waldbaden #trail #thehillsarealive #heuvelland
