Switzerland truly beautiful

in #travel7 years ago
  1. Switzerland has more than 1500 lakes.
  2. This explains why you are never more than 10 miles from a lake...
  3. And why 60% of Switzerland’s electricity is produced by hydroelectric power.
  4. Not surprisingly, 70% of Switzerland is covered in mountains.
  5. More surprisingly, the landscape ranges from 643 feet above sea level in Ascona to 15,199 feet above sea level in The Dufour Peak.
  6. Most surprisingly, these spots are only 43 miles apart!
  7. Switzerland's rail system extends some 3,100 miles.
  8. Thus, it makes sense that the Swiss rank only second behind Japan in relying on trains.
  9. However, you can’t turn right at a red light. But who cares? Everyone rides trains anyway...
  10. If you still want to drive a car, you would be surprised to find out that fuel economy is measures in "quantity per distance" (liters per 100 km). In the US, it is measured in "distance per quantity" (miles per gallon).

My one aunt traced our family roots back to Switzerland in the 1600's. Beautiful pictures. It's on my bucket list.

What i would give to live in the castle thats on top of a hill in the first picture. Thank you for this beautiful post I am also a fan of trains :PP

Sounds like a place I'd love to visit! Funny how people who livein a place tend to take it for granted (I met some Swiss high school students while I was in India and they said Switzerland was a boring place to live.)
