Les Brenets

Today I had something in Geneva, so I decided to combine this with getting done a few stations. I already started my journey yesterday and then spent the night in les Brenets.

I started in Solothurn, taking the train up to Moutier and then Delémont. From there, I completed the train lines around Porrentruy, going up to Delle and Bonfol.

I then took the train from Glovelier to La Chaux-de-Fonds. Sadly, the weather was not great, so the scenery wasn’t as nice as it could have been. I probably will have to come back here at some point. From la Chaux-de-Fonds I made my way to le Locle and then to les Brenets. The train from le Locle to les Brenets is a very lovely, old train, according to Wikipedia the train set is from the 1950s.

In les Brenets I wanted to go see the lake, but it turns out because of the very dry and hot summer, there was no longer a lake there…

It was still nice to walk along the „lake“ and explore les Brenets a bit.

Today I then made my way from les Brenets to Geneva, taking the slow trains via Neuchâtel, Yverdon-les-Bains, and Renens.

Klausen

When I completed the train line through Glarus I noticed there was a bus going from Linthal to Altdorf, crossing the Klausen pass. The journey was very impressive with a nice landscape and adventurous roads. Especially on the side towards Altdorf, the road was very narrow with very steep drops right next to it. I am always impressed by the skills of the bus drivers to navigate such a large vehicle across a mountain pass.
