Walk in Kandern

A great way for me to relax and just enjoy the beauty around me is to take a walk. All I have to do is just walk up the hill from my dorm, Palmgarten. This is the view as I turn around and looks down the hillside towards Kandern.
This is my favorite spot. It is a lovey picnic table the over looks a beautiful view.
This is the view from my favorite spot to sit and think and pray.
Rose hips.
Look at the vibrant colors of the trees up close. In the distance the colors don't look as brilliant as they truely are.

An apple tree in all of its glory. Here in Germany they tend to have small apple trees that bear a lot of fruit.
The trees are ripe with fruit.
The fruit of my walk. In Germany it is acceptable to pick and eat fruit, but not to pick and harvest fruit as you walk by an orchard. Yummm! What a yummy treat for myself.
The beautiful colors of the small apple trees that overlook Kandern.
Feuerbach Strasse and the lovely apple trees. What a beautiful fall day to walk back down the hillside into town.
Here are some Kandern cows just enjoying the sunshine as I frolick down the hillside back toward Kandern. These cow are literally just next to the golf course.
This is the golf course that surrounds the outskirts of Kandern and is in the back yard of my dorm. It apparently costs 10,000 euros to be a memeber for a year and 100 euros to play a golf game. So needless to say, it is not uncommon to see beamers and porsches zip by our dorm out of Kandern. This is a very attractive gold course and many Swiss people come here to golf because it is so much cheaper....just imagine the cost in Switzerland! Yikes!

The sign that I am entering Kandern again. It is right outside of my dorm.
The Palmgarten Dorm is the bottom two floors and Maugenhard Dorm is the top two floors.

Your photos are SO beautiful and peaceful. I can almost feel the mist on my skin. I was only in the Kandern area for a week but I will never forget it. What a beautiful place.

Your pictures look like you are really enjoying your time there and you seem very settled. I am so happy for you.

I think of you often and will be checking your blog!
Much Love, Jen Basiger
