We started our ride out of Lucerne on
sealed bike paths, but as we got out into the country they became well
maintained crushed gravel paths, through some beautiful forest area. There were some great chainsaw carvings along
the path.
Most of the ride was easy going as 40 of
the 50 kms was either flat or downhill, then we had 10 continuous kms of uphill
through another forested walking area which had plenty of man-made steps in the
adjacent stream. This was all part of the local water control.
We stopped for lunch at Unterageri and were
about to sit down when some Swiss people invited us to join them. They were from Zurich and had driven the hour
to have a ride around the local lake.
They had reasonable English, so it was interesting to talk to them about
Switzerland.
Our camping spot today has lake view. As it has been very hot we availed ourselves
of the refreshing water in the swimming spot on the lake. There is a farmer t
our front door almost baling his hay and wrapping in plastic wrap, quite fun to
watch.
