Hiking around Wengen, the cows come down from the mountains.

Tuesday 09/24/19

Weather forecast was for rain starting shortly after noon, so I stayed fairly near. Also the annual descent of the cows from the high pastures was scheduled for 11:15am this morning. I managed a good hike to a viewpoint and back into town before the descent of the cows. In Switzerland, even the cows are on time! Sure enough pretty much a few minutes after the scheduled start a procession came through. See the video below. All the noise comes from the bells around the cow’s necks.
