Valle Verzasca

In Italy we spend a day in Valle Verzasca, well, actually we spend that day in Switzerland. It's a beautiful glen known for the enormous rocks and little characteristic villages with houses build of slate. When we went in the mountains we first saw a 220 m. high weir. (which was used in the James Bond movie Goldeneye, it really is huge!) One can go to Bungee Jump, eldest son was considering it. Frightning.

Standing up there one is so little.

And the lake behind the weir..

People live in these houses..

We saw the village Corippo, the littlest village of Switzerland. It wasn't till 1883 that one could reach this village by a road. There used to live about 300 people, who's main income came out of weaving linen. As often people left the village, not being able to earn a living . On the moment there are living 20 people.

And those enormous rocks and the power of the water were quite impressing.....

And so are my kids......

We loved walking around here, it was a pleasent temperature, and the surrounding was amazing.

A  rainy day well spend, we loved it...
