Past the route becomes increasingly flatter at the Reichenbach falls and makes the look for the Angel horns and later for the corrugated and Wetterhorn and the still impressive Rosenlaui. It is quite steep on a short piece of to the Schwarzwaldalp. Then, with the Grosse Scheidegg and the imposing flanks of the wetterhorn in mind, the uphill is a treat. On the Grosse Scheidegg, biker has earned a rest before you continue direction first. The trail is wide and many walkers therefore no problem. In addition they are guided on special trails (bike ban!). The downhill is the first part fairly steep, never but technically really difficult and well fahrebar. A varied and scenic trail always between 1550 and 1650 m above sea level followed by followed by an easy downhill towards Grindelwald.

  • Over the Alps on a Bike with a Boost Cycling Swiss Mountain Passes with Battery Power (And Some Breath to Spare) Isn’T a Bad Way to Cheat
    C M Y K Sxxx,2011-08-28,TR,001,Bs-4C,E1 SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 2011 Over The Alps On a Bike With A Boost Cycling Swiss mountain passes with battery power (and some breath to spare) isn’t a bad way to cheat. BY TIM NEVILLE HE road east out of Sören- berg rears up into a series of steep turns that climb the Glaubenbielen Pass, the T high point of a road the Swiss Army punched through the Alps more than 60 years ago. Though the occasional car and bus make the jour- ney to the top, these days much of the road belongs to cyclists. On a cool afternoon in mid-July I was one of them. I hadn’t ridden much all season, yet something primordial kicked in when I spied another biker just ahead. His calf muscles were swollen like Salamanca hams, and he was stooped over the bars, sweat drip- ping onto the pavement. Easy pickings, I thought, as I tore after him. Within moments I’d reeled him in. He, gasping; me, hardly out of breath: I felt, well, guilty. “You’re cheating!” he panted in German as I sped by. “You’ll be out of power soon!” He was right: I was cheating. With the mash of a button on my handle- bars, a 250-watt electric motor had spun to life and increased the power of my pedal strokes by 150 percent. Sud- denly I had my own domestique, a 26- volt brute that seemed to grab the saddle and shove me onward every Continued on Page 6 TOMAS VAN HOUTRYVE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES A Flyer electric bicycle helps a rider get over the Grosse Scheidegg Pass in Switzerland.

  • The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio
    The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio Compiled by Marco Bomio, 3818 Grindelwald 1 The Myth «If the wall can be done, then we will do it – or stay there!” This assertion by Edi Rainer and Willy Angerer proved tragically true for them both – they stayed there. The first attempt on the Eiger North Face in 1936 went down in history as the most infamous drama surrounding the North Face and those who tried to conquer it. Together with their German companions Andreas Hinterstoisser and Toni Kurz, the two Austrians perished in this wall notorious for its rockfalls and suddenly deteriorating weather. The gruesome image of Toni Kurz dangling in the rope went around the world. Two years later, Anderl Heckmair, Ludwig Vörg, Heinrich Harrer and Fritz Kasparek managed the first ascent of the 1800-metre-high face. 70 years later, local professional mountaineer Ueli Steck set a new record by climbing it in 2 hours and 47 minutes. 1.1 How the Eiger Myth was made In the public perception, its exposed north wall made the Eiger the embodiment of a perilous, difficult and unpredictable mountain. The persistence with which this image has been burnt into the collective memory is surprising yet explainable. The myth surrounding the Eiger North Face has its initial roots in the 1930s, a decade in which nine alpinists were killed in various attempts leading up to the successful first ascent in July 1938. From 1935 onwards, the climbing elite regarded the North Face as “the last problem in the Western Alps”. This fact alone drew the best climbers – mainly Germans, Austrians and Italians at the time – like a magnet to the Eiger.

  • Dorfchronik Niederried Bei Interlaken
    "Nidirriet", Niederried, wird kurz vor dem 15. April 1303 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Doch belegen einige wichtige Funde, dass bereits viel früher Menschen auf dem heutigen Gemeindegebiet gelebt haben. Somit beginnt die Chronik mit der Zeit dieser Funde. An- schliessend finden sich diverseste geschichtliche Themen aus Europa, der Eidgenossen- schaft, des Herrschaftsgebietes Bern und der Region, welche die Entstehung der heutigen Gemeindeform mit prägten oder zumindest beeinflussten. In all dies eingebettet sind ältere und neuere Be- und Gegebenheiten aus unserem Dorf. So ist es möglich, je nach Lust und Laune unser Gemeindegebiet zusammen mit seinen Einwohnern im Umfeld der Frühgeschichte, dann das Dorf Nidirriet in der Zeit seiner erst- maligen Benennung "56 Jahre vor 1303" (!), weiter die Bäuert Underried und später Nie- derried auf dem langen Weg hin zur Gegenwart kennenzulernen. ~ 4300 bis 1800 v. Chr. "Neolithikum" oder "die Jungsteinzeit" 1913 wurde beim Bahnbau westlich vom Weiler Ursisbalm in Niederried ein Hocker- grab aus dem Neolithikum gefunden. (Lage 637010 / 173675 / 584; unter dem nördli- chen der zwei Felsvorsprünge.) Das Grab aus 'Goldswilplatten' mit 1 m Länge und 0.4 m Breite enthielt ein Skelett einer 20 bis 25-jährigen Frau, den Kopf nach SW ge- richtet. 1924 wurde der Schädel von Prof. O. Schlaginhaufen als der niedrigsten bis dahin bekannten Variante der schweizeri- schen Neolithikerkapazität zugeordnet (kleinwüchsig, vergleichbar Pygmäen) und ist demzufolge um die 6'000 Jahre alt. Ausserhalb des Grabes im Nordosten la- gen wirr durcheinander Knochenüberreste zweier 7- bis 14-jähriger Kinder und eine Platte mit Asche. Vmtl. waren dies Spuren vom bereits damals üblichen Totenbrand. Weitere vier Gräber, "in nächster Nähe", wurden ohne Ausgrabung weggesprengt.

The view over the huge Fiescherhorn north face is unique. In front of us arise steeply the Eiger and the Schreckhorn, in the background we have a fantastic view over the the Swiss Mittelland. We take the same route back on our descent, which guides us back to the Jung- fraujoch.
