Tour By Day DAY 1 A Very Swiss Beginning Your DuVine guides will greet you in Aigle for a transfer to L'Etivaz, where our tour begins. L'Etivaz is famous for its eponymous cheese, so we’re treated to a tasting with a local cheesemaker before a light lunch. Fueled for our first ride, we’ll spin beside the banks of the Sarine River through Rougemont and Saanen. Pedal past plenty of Switzerland’s emblematic wooden chalets all the way to the car-free town of Gstaad. Tonight, we tuck into sophisticated Swiss fare in the hotel’s cozy restaurant. Meals: Lunch / Dinner Destinations: Rougemont, Saanen, Gstaad Accomplished: 16 miles / 26 km, elevation gain: 1,312 feet / 400 meters Longer Option: 18 miles / 29 km, elevation gain: 2,555 feet / 779 meters Accommodations: Hotel Le Grand Chalet DAY 2 Entering the Bernese Oberland After a classic Swiss breakfast, it’s time to depart Gstaad and cruise on a mix of asphalt and gravel roads through the Simmental Valley, an Alpine landscape in the Bernese Oberland. We’ll be pausing along the way to taste the chocolate that has earned Switzerland its confectionary repute. Our route snakes along the scenic Simme river to Lake Thun, where we stop for lunch on the shores. Afterwards, keep on riding to our hotel or opt for a boat ride all the way to Interlaken. We’ll reconvene for a fine dining experience at the hotel’s bright and elegant restaurant. Meals: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner Destinations: Lake Thun, Interlaken Accomplished: 32 miles / 51 km, elevation gain: 2,591 feet / 790 meters Longer Option: 48 miles / 77 km, elevation gain: 3,001 feet / 915 meters Accommodations: Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa DuVine itineraries may be subject to slight route changes, hotel substitutions, and other modifications. DAY 3 Chasing Waterfalls Encircled by the iconic mountains Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, Interlaken is a playground for outdoor pursuits. Today, our own adventure takes us to the Lauterbrunnen Valley. We’ll ride to the famous Trümmelbach Falls which drain over 20,000 liters of water every second, then continue to the end of the valley for lunch. This afternoon, choose to go paragliding over the Alpine peaks for an additional fee, participate in the beloved Swiss pastime of hiking, or take advantage of the world-class spa at our hotel. Tonight, dine on your own back in Interlaken—we recommend seeking out some Swiss cheese fondue. Meals: Breakfast / Lunch Destinations: Trümmelbach Accomplished: 26 miles / 42 km, elevation gain: 1,574 feet / 480 meters; 4 miles / 6 km hiking Accommodations: Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa DAY 4 The Climb to Lake Lucerne Today's ride begins with a bang as we climb the Brünig Pass high above Lake Brienz. Pause at the summit to pat yourself on the back and relish the stunning views, then take off on a long downhill through orchards all the way to our lunch stop. Our ride ends in the lakeside city of Lucerne, nestled beneath a mountainous panorama dominated by the massif Pilatus. Take a pre- dinner stroll to Chapel Bridge, one of the oldest wooden bridges in Europe, then dine at a charming restaurant in town.

The afternoon is yours to explore historic Lucerne, perhaps visiting the chocolate museum, people watching in an old city square, or peering into the windows of watch shops. Our farewell dinner will be an evening to remember at our hotel restaurant, where the views are truly magical.

KG, Sonderflughafen Oberpfaffenhofen, D-82205 Gilching, Germany - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Inland water, Case II water, lakes, MERIS, water constituents ABSTRACT: The physically based Modular Inversion & Processing System (MIP) is used in an automized processing chain for inland water constituent retrieval from MERIS level 1B data. Preprocessing routines are used to automatically convert the ESA generic data products into MIP input data format. Water/land masking, atmospheric correction and water constituent retrieval are accomplished by simple batch executables from MIP. The accuracy of the constituent retrieval mainly depends on the spectral fit between the image input data and the radiative transfer model results extracted from a database. Therefore, thresholds and initial values for model fitting have to account for all occurring lake specific temporal variations and need careful adjustment. 1.

  • Bernese Anabaptist History: a Short Chronological Outline (Jura Infos in Blue!)
    Bernese Anabaptist History: a short chronological outline (Jura infos in blue!) 1525ff Throughout Europe: Emergence of various Anabaptist groups from a radical reformation context. Gradual diversification and development in different directions: Swiss Brethren (Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria), Hutterites (Moravia), Mennonites [Doopsgezinde] (Netherlands, Northern Germany), etc. First appearance of Anabaptists in Bern soon after 1525. Anabaptists emphasized increasingly: Freedom of choice concerning beliefs and church membership: Rejection of infant baptism, and practice of “believers baptism” (baptism upon confession of faith) Founding of congregations independent of civil authority Refusal to swear oaths and to do military service “Fruits of repentance”—visible evidence of beliefs 1528 Coinciding with the establishment of the Reformation in Bern, a systematic persecution of Anabaptists begins, which leads to their flight and migration into rural areas. Immediate execution ordered for re-baptized Anabaptists who will not recant (Jan. 1528). 1529 First executions in Bern (Hans Seckler and Hans Treyer from Lausen [Basel] and Heini Seiler from Aarau) 1530 First execution of a native Bernese Anabaptist: Konrad Eichacher of Steffisburg. 1531 After a first official 3-day Disputation in Bern with reformed theologians, well-known and successful Anabaptist minister Hans Pfistermeyer recants. New mandate moderates punishment to banishment rather than immediate execution. An expelled person who returns faces first dunking, and if returning a second time, death by drowning . 1532 Anabaptist and Reformed theologians meet for several days in Zofingen: Second Disputation. Both sides declare a victory. 1533 Further temporary moderation of anti-Anabaptist measures: Anabaptists who keep quiet are tolerated, and even if they do not, they no longer face banishment, dunking or execution, but are imprisoned for life at their own expense.

  • Quaternary Glaciation History of Northern Switzerland
    Quaternary Science Journal GEOzOn SCiEnCE MEDiA Volume 60 / number 2–3 / 2011 / 282–305 / DOi 10.3285/eg.60.2-3.06 iSSn 0424-7116 E&G www.quaternary-science.net Quaternary glaciation history of northern switzerland Frank Preusser, Hans Rudolf Graf, Oskar keller, Edgar krayss, Christian Schlüchter Abstract: A revised glaciation history of the northern foreland of the Swiss Alps is presented by summarising field evidence and chronologi- cal data for different key sites and regions. The oldest Quaternary sediments of Switzerland are multiphase gravels intercalated by till and overbank deposits (‘Deckenschotter’). Important differences in the base level within the gravel deposits allows the distin- guishing of two complex units (‘Höhere Deckenschotter’, ‘Tiefere Deckenschotter’), separated by a period of substantial incision. Mammal remains place the older unit (‘Höhere Deckenschotter’) into zone MN 17 (2.6–1.8 Ma). Each of the complexes contains evidence for at least two, but probably up-to four, individual glaciations. In summary, up-to eight Early Pleistocene glaciations of the Swiss alpine foreland are proposed. The Early Pleistocene ‘Deckenschotter’ are separated from Middle Pleistocene deposition by a time of important erosion, likely related to tectonic movements and/or re-direction of the Alpine Rhine (Middle Pleistocene Reorganisation – MPR). The Middle-Late Pleistocene comprises four or five glaciations, named Möhlin, Habsburg, Hagenholz (uncertain, inadequately documented), Beringen, and Birrfeld after their key regions. The Möhlin Glaciation represents the most extensive glaciation of the Swiss alpine foreland while the Beringen Glaciation had a slightly lesser extent. The last glacial cycle (Birrfeld Glaciation) probably comprises three independent glacial advances dated to ca.
